Joining in with Ginny for the yarn along today, I sort of finished Faith's jumper. I finished it with short sleeves and I thought that would be fine for the summer and I'll finish off the detachable long sleeves ready for when the winter gets colder.
I managed this first photo in the brief sunshine but then the rain had started again by the time I finished, so my apologies for the dark photos.
Faith really likes it and says it is really warm. I made it in an age 8 size so hopefully we will get a couple of winters out of it. Ravelry notes here.
This is one mitten I have done to go with Roghans hat. More on this when it's all done.
Happy yarn along x

I love that sweater! Awesome job! And I love the colorway knitting, I haven't tried it myself, because it looks so difficult!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful sweater - I've never heard of detachable sleeves before. Genius idea!
ReplyDeleteYour cable work is lovely.
I agree with Hannah - detachable sleeves? Very neat. I suppose if we can zip off pants to make them shorts, then one can unbutton? the sleeve of a sweater. How do the sleeves detach?
ReplyDeletePoppers or snap fastners are used in the pattern but if i'd thought of it I could have put buttonholes in the short sleeve cuffs, I think that would have been lovely detail, although maybe not quick enough for an overheating 7 year old to pull off.
Deletelove the idea of detachable sleeves! buttons?
ReplyDeleteThat is gorgeous! What a great sweater.
ReplyDeletelove your sweater! the greys are so pretty! And such a cute mitten!!
ReplyDeleteGreat little hoodie! That would be nice to wear when it's chilly out. I love the mitten and it makes me wish it was winter!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I love that sweater hoodie. Well done!!
ReplyDeleteVery nice especially the cables....those scare me to pieces! Love the idea of detachable sleeves, that makes it wearable in more seasons. Love it.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sweater I love it.
ReplyDeleteDetachable sleeves that is such a good idea, makes it last longer I would think if it can be worn most of the year (we are still wearing jumpers in summer!)
ReplyDeletewhat a pretty sweater, beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteThe jumper is gorgeous and Faith looks so cute with the hood up! :)
