Description
'Weekend Sweater' is the name of the pattern, and I literally made it in two or three days. It's really nice, I'm pretty happy with it. It's made with nylon ribbon held together with mohair, and only about 200 yards of each!Related content

I'd love to knit that sweater.
You said that you got the pattern from Stitches.
Can you be a little more specific?
thanks.

I'm sorry, I don't remember where I bought it. But if you search Google (or better yet, Ravelry), I'm sure you can find it. Or just improvise - it's basically your superbasic sweater just on huuuuuge needles.
Thanks for your comment!

It's beautiful! I'm clueless when it comes to knitting and crochet... Is this sweater knitted or crocheted?

Lovely! And certainly much better than that one-hour sweater on Letterman that time!

I got it at Stitches at the beginning of this month, but it's really a basic sweater, you could figure it out probably.

LOL, I wonder what the neighbors thought.
*Enter Ray-chell, carrying a green sweater on a wire hanger*
*Hangs up sweater on tree*
*Puts her thumbs and forefingers in the stereotypical-making-a-square-photo-frame position and steps back*
*Repositions sweater*
*Takes picture*
*Multiple blinding flashes*
*Takes sweater down from tree and goes back into the house*
*Not forgetting to check the mailbox*

You know me toooo well.
Except!:
The neighbors' house is on the other side of the yard, so they most likely didn't see.
There was no flash - notice the bright sun?
No fingerthumbthingie occurred...that I recall.
The camera was being screwy (I had to borrow my dad's and it was almost out of battery so the LCD kept dying...)
I love being cynical sometimes.
But yes, I could see the weird reactions...

You took it facing South, right?
And I know there was no flash (and I couldn't imagine you doing the finger-square thing) but it adds to the drama!!!

Umm...South...well...maybe? Yeah, I guess. 'cause when I look out my window after school the sun's always in my eyes, so that'd be west...then it's 90 degrees counterclockwise from that, which'd be South.
Yes! Of course South!

That is beautiful! I love the colors, and it looks so wonderfully soft. I think I'll have to find me this "weekend sweater" pattern...
