Quarter-zip sweaters have been on my mind for awhile, so instead of buying one I decided to make the PetiteKnit version. I decided to use the Hudson and West Forge ( RIP 😦 ) I got at Rhinebeck last year, but it was tricky to find the right mohair. Somehow Fib-r-land had an uncanny match that blends in really well.
I am really tired of twisted rib and I’m ready for a break! What’s wrong with regular ribbing?
The zipper was not too bad to sew in, but the facing keeps getting caught in the zipper, so I am going to need to do some surgery to give the zipper teeth some more breathing room. I couldn’t find a zipper I liked at Pacific Trimmings, but i found the perfect one in my stash. Love when that happens!
Its going to get chilly next week so I’m hoping to take it out for a real spin. I was getting pretty hot wearing it for these photos on a 60 degree rainy day, but I am so excited that its finished!
