Finished Object: Juno

Remember when I said I needed the perfect photo taking opportunity? What could be more perfect than fresh snowfall? I almost forgot what this white stuff looks like. Almost.

Rowan Juno Full Size

What can I say that the pictures don't already tell? I will admit that in the beginning, I wasn't sure the ribbing or cables would show with the tweedy yarn, but it turned out just great. I LOVE the sweater.

Pattern: Juno, Rowan 40
Yarn: Tahki New Tweed
Needles: Addi Turbo US Size 9
Gauge: 4 sts = 1"

Betty - it turned out so beautifully! (I commented awhile back asking about getting gauge with the sub yarn) It's a good thing we live in different countries - I may just use that same colour!!! You did a beautiful job.

I am so glad I found your blog! First of all I am a transplanted Chicago person trapped by SF 49er fans. A peek at this sweater alone was worth the trip. How lovely. Beautifully done!

Absolutely stunning!

It has turned out lovely in that yarn.

Mandy said...

Wow, that's perfectly beautiful. The yarn you chose sounds like a better choice for the design than doubled Wool Cotton. Very inspiring! :)
