A Cobblestone Pullover for the Hub

November 22, 2008 at 8:14 pm · Filed under Knitting, Sustainable Knitting

Cobblestone pullover

Yarn: O Wool Classic, a 100 percent certified-organic merino wool in “Evergreen,” which knit beautifully and bloomed gloriously after blocking.
Pattern: Cobblestone Pullover by Jared Flood, from the Fall 2007 issue of Interweave Knits; you can also purchase the PDF from Knitting Daily
Needles: Size 7 Addi Turbo circulars

I actually knit this last winter—it’s just taken me this long to block it and get it on my husband. I’m a lousy excuse for a knitter/wife that way. Plus, I really hate blocking, especially when it’s a huge one-piece like this because it takes FOREVER to dry in a tiny apartment, even with the windows open, and you’re constantly shooing away wool-loving cats…you get the picture.
