I made this for myself

    About

    Ah, Mercury Retrograde! I may be in near constant disagreement with everyone around me, but it is a good time to finish up all the lingering projects.

    This jumper is a combination of two patterns. One is the Bevin jumper, and the other (the cable pattern) is from Creative Cables. I started out making the Creative Cables pattern verbatim, as it were, but the sleeves were very long and the shape wasn't overly flattering. So I unknitted and started over with the Bevin pattern as a sort of skeleton, as I've used it before and found it very flattering.

    This all went very well, and I essentially made two back pieces, with the front's neckline castoff occurring about two inches lower. It looked like it would be a square neck until the 'pick-up and knit' portion.

    I used the Debbie Bliss Luxury Silk DK and am very pleased with the result!

      Clever idea to combine the patterns, great result! If you have a photo of the cable pattern would love to see that too as I love Celtic knitwear
