f.o. | eugene pullover.
I've been addicted to the Cascades collection by Whitney Hayward since it was released. I've even knit more than one Withrow hat from it. I'd love to have every one of these items in my wardrobe.I bought the yarn for the Eugene pullover about a year ago, but finally cast on for this sweater at the bitter end of summer. It didn't take long to knit the body, and then I let the sleeves languish for a few weeks in favor of a hat project, a sock project, and finishing the Ramona Light cardigan.And then yesterday, I finally finished the sleeves and the neckline. I actually really love it. The shape is short and boxy pre-blocking but still fits well. I think a good soak will get it right to the specs I'm hoping for. I could have knit this on 8s instead of the recommended 9s because my gauge was ever so slightly off, but I'm loving the fit anyways--I don't think there was drastic impact like I anticipated when I finally noticed after nearly completing the body (gah!).Cheers to finishing projects and feeling great about them, though I may ultimately gift this one to my mum. Next up in this collection I'd like to knit the Rainier pullover and the Holden wrap.Finished snaps, soon. What are you finishing this fall?My project notes are here.
