I’m done with the back piece of my current vintage knitting project. I think it’s so lovely. Decreasing for the armholes was a little strange. The lace pattern makes the normal edges zig zag so decreasing on a zig zag pattern was a little deceiving. Seaming may be a challenge. I think being that the seams are under the arms, no one will ever notice if it isn’t perfect.
Ribbing is complete for the front piece so I will start the pattern again shortly. Today I am working on seaming my husbands sweater up though. I have a Fall feeling swimming around in my head which brings me back to this thick cashmere knit.

I just love the color and the pattern is just beauiful. Did you use one strand or two strands of yarn held together? This is going to be a lovely, lovely sweater! Can’t wait to see the finished project.

Thanks! It’s three ply yarn. It was twisted for me my Colormark UK.
