Finished Phyllo

The Phyllo-Yoked Pullover made it’s debut at the KTog Holiday party last Friday, but I never got a good photo of it there. 

I love this sweater.  It is very comfortable to wear, and the yarn is smooshy and soft.  I wasn’t sure about the sleeves before I started, but the bell sleeves are one of my favorite things about the sweater now that it’s finished. 

Pattern: Phyllo Yoked Pullover
Source: Knitting Nature by Norah Gaughan
Yarn: Baruffa Merinos Sei (135 yards / 50g)
Quantity: 11 skeins (~1485 yards)
Color: Olive Green
Needles: Denise US5

Started: November 01, 2007
Completed: December 04, 2007

Pattern modifications:

  • I shortened the sweater and the sleeves by an inch.  I still wish the sweater was a tiny bit shorter.
  • I knit a different edging on the sleeves and body because I did not want a rolled stockinette edge.  I did three rows knit, three rows purl (knit flat).

    Nice sweater!

    I looked at your map of yarn stores in IL and
    wanted to pass on some updated info.

    Flying Colors in Clarendon Hills closed several years ago.

    There is a relatively new yarn shop in Naperville called Zora’s Yarns.
