me wearing the ham sweater, a photo by bcjennyo on Flickr.

This is possibly the worst combination ever of a lovely pattern and gorgeous yarn. I look like a giant Easter ham. However, it fits better than any other sweater I've ever made, and the yarn is a wonderfully warm and soft wool, silk, viscose blend, so I'm just going to wear it anyway. And then make myself a brown tweed version too.

I think you look lovely! (Not at all like an Easter ham!)

I got to say that my first thought was: this colour doesn't suit her at all. I don't take that back ;) but I love the sweater and also love it on you. I guess in a different colour it would be perfect. :)

That's exactly what I was thinking. :)

That's a gorgeous sweater, and you're right, it's a great fit. It's almost funny how perfectly it matches your skin tone. You could always put something around your neck to break up the effect?

Or just wear a mask or a pig nose... ;)

Thanks for the compliment. I love the sweater, just wish I'd gotten a different color yarn. Live and learn. :)

It was 6:30 AM and I hadn't had enough coffee yet. I'm smiling now. :)

I would definitely like to see this in brown tweed. Beautifully made, just the wrong color.

Yeah, I knew it when I started it. :)

Tweed will be done before the end of the winter!

I love the neckline and the raglan sleeves! With your coloring, I bet it would look wonderful in a jade green or a burnt orange, too. What pattern is this?

Thanks. It's Margot from Knitty. The easiest sweater in the world. I think I'll end up making several of them. Perfect for watching sports...but really boring for someone who likes a knitting challenge!

I love mindless TV knitting, especially when it turns into something so pretty! The pattern is now in my Ravelry queue for future reference. Maybe in that stashed royal blue tweed...
