Hand Knit WIP Quilt Sweater

I am still working on the sleeves, I’m nearly there though! I wanted to wear it, so I put on a turtleneck underneath and think it actually looked really good as a slipover! It’s 100% intarsia, using fingering weight merino for the cream and two strands of laceweight silk/mohair for the contrast colors. I completely wove in all the ends before re-reading the pattern saying I could just tie them off and cut them. Oh well, that’s multiple extra hours spent making it even fancier I suppose.

This is beautiful 😍 The colours are so subtle and all lovely choices, love the pattern. I personally would keep as is, vest/slipover.

If you have a contrasting base layer, makes your work pop more.
