An Old Favorite
Today was the first cozy sweater day of the season -- overcast with a bit of rain, chilly but not cold, and a bit of breeze here & there. Time to pull out the wool sweaters and to put on one of my absolute favorites.
If memory serves me -- which it doesn't always these days -- I finished this sweater at the turn of the century. Sounds longer than 8 years ago, doesn't it! It's the "St Brigid" sweater (sans fringe) from Alice Starmore's Aran Knitting. I love wearing this sweater almost as much as I loved knitting it.

Hey, that's my favorite, too! And I left off the fringe as well.

As a special fan of St. Brigid, I have always loved that one and wanted to make it--just not much call for it in Texas, sigh. And, like the earlier commenter, I managed to not buy that one, and now I can't get it. WHY??? I got all the other ones she did in the 90s!

Nona, Saint Brigid is one of my favorite Starmore designs, and one of these days it will hit the top of my queue of "projects to start next".

oooohhh that looks nice and cozy! looks like a really fun knit too - lots of fun cables! of course, I can see myself crossing them the wrong way every 5 minutes, but that's a different story... ;) welcome back to blogland btw, and hope you feel all the way better soon!

Beautiful! I just love how well-done hand knits stand the test of time in both style and wear.

Beautiful sweater! I love pulling them out of the closet when the season starts - just like finding old friends.

Nona, I had forced myself to stop checking your site every day, and I am SO glad to see that you are back!!! I checked every day until about a week ago. I have been pulling out my cozy 'old friends' andn it's a wonderful feeling.

oh wow it looks great! and good timing -- i just finished my st brigid!

As Jane said on the 30th, I, too, had been applying the watched-pot-never-boils strategy of not looking for you every time I blog-read, hoping you might reappear that much sooner. Just last week, while you were "away," I followed your brilliant instructions for swatching the three short row techniques and realized how much I missed you and your perspective on all things knitted. Nona, welcome back!

I love your St Brigid! I have gotten a copy of that pattern from a library book, and fully intend on making my own! I like the way it looks sans fringe...great color, too!

I must say, as significant, because I like to read you have to say, I couldnt help but lose interest after a period of time. If you have a great grasp of the subject problem, but you forget, including your readers. Maybe you should think about a lot more than 10 cents. Or, maybe you should not be generalized, very. Better, if you think someone may have, rather than just a gut feeling that the subject heading. Think you personally believe that the process of adjustment, and to other people may read this the benefit of doubt.
