If your man is anything like my John, who has conservative taste in clothing, this would be considered daring but wearable.The yarn is Italian. 50% Merino, 25% Cashmere and 25% silk. 2/15 weight used double.
This approximates to 375m per 100gm. This could easily be knitted by hand, using approximately 3mm needles.
It was knitted using the Brother Garter Carriage on tension 10, on a Brother 940. The gauge was 27sts and 46 rows to 10cm AFTER washing and tumble drying. The completed seater was washed and tumble dried. From now on it will be machine washed on a 30c delicate cycle and dried flat.

Very nice!
I think the sweater is lovely... Id probably end up stealing it off of my man if he had it in the wardrobe looks lovely and comfortable to snuggle up inside!!
I would love it myself; do I qualify now for the ultimate dull woman?
The color is gorgeous. Great job even if a tad conservative.
Hi Colin, very nice blog, and very nice jumper. Unfortunately I have no GK and no possibilities to install one on a Siver Reed. I like the colours and the shape.
Nice manly sweater. Well done.

Colin, I think it's beautiful! It's conservative enough, but still pleases the color and texture person.
Hi, Colin,
I love all your sweaters, the finish on them is fabulous! What do you
do with them all? Either John and you are the best dressed fellas
around, or you give them away or sell them?
That's one beautiful sweater Colin. I like it a lot. Love your
latest socks as well and as always love the pup pics.
Hi Colin,
Dull? Not at all, classy and sober!
And what a professional finish! Just look at how the ribs in the collar
match those in the body!
That sweater is wonderful, Colin. Wondered what you've been up to. Vicki
Wow~~ Looks does sweater!!!
John is lucky guy!!!
Visit my blog sometime!!
Hi Colin, what a lovelly jumper. I hope John will wear it, so then he
won't be so Mr Dull!!! I love it so much I am going to get my GC out
and knit my DH one.
Keep up the good work.
Also your puppies are beautiful. Wish I could have one.
Hi Collin
Me I FIND IT VERY BEAUTIFUL and original too!!!
Love your garter stitch sweater. Do you make your sweaters and sell them? Or just give them to friends? You do have a lovely talent for designing, it seems.
What a great sweater, so good looking.
A sweater in merino, cashmere and slik sounds absolutely
wonderful :-)
Great simple design is always best. Machine knitter nut aka Joan
