Stats: Yarn: Louet Sales Natural Cotton Boucle, 100% cotton, Aran weight, 150 yards per 100 g. skein. Purchased many moons ago -- possibly from Elann?? Pattern for sweater body generated by Sweater Wizard (raglan sleeves, no waist shaping, round neckline). I hadn't used this program (for me) for quite a while, and I had forgotten that I find the armhole depth to be too long for my taste. I think (hope?) that I can get away with it here in this heavier yarn, but NOTE TO SELF: shorten those armholes next time!
The ribbing (Twin Rib, Barbara Walker, Second Treasury) is hand knit. This yarn languished in the stash for years because I just couldn't think of an interesting pattern to use it for. It was swatched five ways from Sunday, but in the end -- simple is best. My hands refuse to hand knit cotton yarn for larger projects, so the body of this was done on the LK-150 -- a great little hobby machine which handled this heavier-than-I-should-have-attempted-on-a-mid-gauge like the champion it is, although I know it would have preferred a DK weight wool -- next time sweetie, I promise!
