I received the yarn and pattern for this order a week ago and was asked if I could have it finished and back to the customer before she left for Canada today.
I said I would try, but then I ran out of yarn at the end of last week and had a craft fair on Sunday so I just didn’t manage to get it finished on time. But I did finish it today!
The pattern details are:-
Spun Out #4 – 1982
Child’s Fair Isle Yoke Sweater
(Originially published in 1974 as Elizabeth’s Wool Gathering #11)
By Elizabeth Zimmermann and Meg Swanson
It is the customers pattern and she supplied the yarn which was Jamieson & Smith 2ply Jumper Yarn, 100% Pure New Wool, from Shetland.
The jumper was knitted on circular needles from the bottom up. There is a hem at the bottom. This was the first time I had seen an Elizabeth Zimmermann pattern and it was a bit different from the patterns that I normally use, but I got there in the end, I think!
The yarn knitted up a bit uneven, but it looks ok now that it is all finished.
I will be sending it off in the post in the morning, so I hope that the customer likes it!
