Socks, what socks?

July 07 2008 – thisisknit

At Knit Night last Thursday Laurence arrived in wearing this stunning sweater and I just had to get the camera out so we could share it with you :) This sweater is her own original design, using Noro Kureyon Sock yarn. It is worked in the round, with steeked* armholes to maintain the depth of the stripes. Laurence then knit the sleeves together in one big circle and again steeked* them to keep the overall look of the stripes consistent. Just beautiful!
*"What on earth are steeks?" I hear you say... see here and here for more :)

    great idea! is the pattern available on ravelry? I’ve always liked the idea of a noro jumper but never liked the different thickness stripes
