wip | striped.

I decided I wanted to make myself a basic charcoal and white striped sweater. I've made a version of the Tea and Jam and Bread sweater before, loved the fit but ultimately gifted it to my mum, and decided I wanted a version for myself.The thing I love about this sweater is it can be manipulated easily. While the original calls for two larger stripes in different colors and front pockets, I've seen a million different versions of this one: from solid and no pockets to mini stripes and beyond. And so, since I knew I loved its shape and fit, I decided to use it as the basis for this new sweater.I'm nearly to the finish line on the body in under a week. My stripes are approximately 2.25 inches or 13 rows in Brooklyn Tweed Shelter with size 7 needles. I love the neck shaping on this sweater, as well. If you aren't a fan of short rows, this may not be the pattern for you--but believe me, they are worth it in the overall fit of the sweater.Of course, I'm using one of my favorite yarns: Brooklyn Tweed Shelter. The colors are cast iron and fossil.Finished product soon.
