You Will Finish This Sweater. O_o

I started working on the Carpenter Sweater from a Rowan pattern book a week and a half ago. I had been knitting something else but for some reason the metal needles I were using made the skin on my fingertips peel off. I don't know if it's just dry skin or I'm allergic to nickel. Either way I decided to take a break and work with something on wooden needles. :O

The yarn I'm using is Knit Picks Swish in Bordeaux. It's not very stretchy for wool but it's nice and soft. I must finish this sweater! I had been pining for a red sweater for a long time. The bottom is going to have a twisted cord drawstring. Weird, huh?

But jeez, that looks tiny on the needle! I always have trouble with hand-knitted sweaters bagging on me and I have great hopes for this one.

I finished Vol. One of Barbara Ikai last night. Ball-joint dolls have appeared in the manga!

that's a lovely color ♥ I'm just the opposite as you, I cannot stand to work with wooden needles, they just make my hands unhappy! ^^;

Thank you! I took a long time deciding what color to use. In real life the yarn is more purple but it's a nice change of pace!

Wooden needles make you knit slower. They do hurt my hands sometimes, but the one pair of metal Addi Turbos that I have make me knit so fast I'm afraid my work will fly off the needle. ^o^!
