Juuuust Right
Goldilocks had to try three of everything she came across before she decided which one was just right. I’ve had to try a lot more than that to figure out what I really wanted in a sweater.
I was bewitched for a long time by frilly feminine sweaters, many of which looked nice but weren’t all that comfortable to wear. I knit some sweaters just because they were popular or because I wanted to try a certain technique, and they didn’t quite satisfy me when it came time to wear them.
Eventually I realized I wanted a rugged, warm cardigan that would stand up to horseing around in the outdoors with my kids–or yes, even on my own.
Rosedale fits the bill perfectly! My version is knit with Noro Kureyon in colorway #90. I love it.
This is a stunning sweater! The designer is the owner of my LYS, and I live in Rosedale ( a neighbourhood). I REALLY should make one of my own, shouldn’t I! How many skeins did you need?
It looks great.
I wish I had made my Rosedale a cardigan. It was just too warm for Seattle as a pullover.
It really is juuuuust right. I like zips at the front of my sweaters too and the one you knitted looks perfect.
okay, THAT is gorgeous!
You’re so cute!
