I have just finished and blocked my latest finished project!  I am so happy to be done with it and to be wearing it today. I have been working on Gridlines by Sosu knits in Kettle Tweed for the last 3 months!!! I think it might of been the longest it has ever taken me to finish a sweater. There is no reason except I was also finishing Christmas sweaters for my 3 nieces at the same time.  For my Gridlines I did size 3 with length C and it took 4 skeins of Kettle Tweed in Garden.  I am really...

I LOVE THE WOOL AND HONEY SWEATER BY ANDREA MOWRY! Last fall Andrea Mowry came out with the cutest sweater  (The Wool and Honey Sweater) and I knew I had to make one for me!  At first I was a little hesitant because I thought it would be a little too complicated.

They made theirs double stranded with a fingering weight wool and a strand of Mohair. So, Winter Blossom is the perfect fit for this pattern cause you are getting the same look with out having to use 2 strands of yarn.  Here is what you...
