The yarn is Rowan Felted Tweed. I knit it on a size 3. The pattern was inspired by an argyle blanket in the most recent Knitwear magazine. Basically it's a traveling stitch that crosses over a purl diamond and then a moss stitch diamond.
I decided to only do the purl/moss diamonds at either end, and I continued the traveling stitch diamond throughout.
So, dark, fuzzy yarn, at a fine gauge, in a pattern I was doing by sight. Oye vey. I'm really proud of this project, it's beautiful and I think it was well worth the trouble, but next time I won't delude myself into thinking its a good quick holiday project!
That's Joel modeling it at Christmas. Notice the needles still attached...
As soon as it dries it's going in the mail!
