What was your inspiration?

I attempted this sweater because of the fear that I have had to steek a knitted sweater. I don't claim to have mastered it, but, I am no longer afraid of it and will definitely do it again.

What are you most proud of?

I love the fit and feel of the finished sweater. It is very warm, which is perfect for Michigan winters. I can't wait to knit another one.

Gorgeous! I love how subtle the grape is with the grey tones. Well done. I'm glad you no longer have fear of "the steek". I'm taking this class right now, so thanks for sharing your successful project.
