I have always wanted to make this kind of sweater. A Lopapeysa, but the weather in San Francisco is never that cold. I have made this sweater using Encore, which is a blend 80 Acrylic/ 20 Wool and it is really good.
I started this project June 22 and finished it July 4th. This pattern is a very quick knit as it is made with a chunky yarn. I was very glad to finish it and get my photographer , Michael Heylin, to help me with the photo op. I hope you enjoy the pictures and that you get motivated to make one of this babies. It is easier than you think, but you have to mind your color-work tension and gauge. Thanks for stopping by!
