Aftur Pullover

I finished my first bottom up pullover.  Interesting how the sleeves are grafted with Kitchener Stitch after sweater completed.  Changes made from original pattern: 2x2 ribbing.  Used up yarn that was purchased as a kit, from Knit Picks for a blanket and some of the Lopi, yarn leftover from my Icelandic Cardigan. 

Aftur a free pattern found at this site http://www.istex.is/Files/Skra_0050866.pdf

I love the fit and know I will enjoy wearing this next winter on those cold days.

The Top Down Icelandic Sweater

I am sure this sweater would look better with snow in the background, however today was another beautiful fall day.

 Here is the finished sweater I knit taking  Craftsy Class:  The Top-Down Icelandic Sweater. Craftsy.com
The Yarn is Lopi and from a kit on the Craftsy website.
Interesting how the yarn softened after a soak and block per class instructions.

 I learned some "new to me techniques." How to Steek, a new ribbing, new cast on, working with three colors together.
