Knitted in 100% wool, supersoft, using the garter carriage on 940, my own design adapted from another. I am pleased with this. It came out to size. The neck fits just as I wanted, it stops just under my chin, no folding. I like the 3 x3 ribbing. This is a casual loose fitting sweater.
Close up of stitch pattern. The colour is altered so as to show stitch detail. Real colour is more like the photographs above.

That is so beautiful. I want it! or at least I want
to do one like it. I like the color change where you
are trying to show up the stitch detail, too!
wow Colin, that is stunning and not at all what I expected when you said garter st sweater.
Is that pattern repeat small enough for a sock?
My goodness, what a wonderful sweater! I love the pattern and color. Perhaps the wonderful success will help you through your anxiety. I know what you are going through, having also come from a fundamentalist background and deciding to make a MAJOR life change. But, hey, we are still good people, right?
Colin,
Love the pattern, love the color. Love the 3 x 3 ribbing. Very nice
sweater...as usual.
Beautiful work, as usual Colin!

Your sweater is beautiful, Colin! Also will be waiting to hear about Luna and see pics of her pups.
Again another stellar performance Colin. That fibre really shows the
texture nicely.

Nice sweater Colin, you have a good eye for design/colour.Hey guess what? I just made my very first article on the machine-a scarve for DP in tuck stitch.
I hope all goes well with Luna & the pups, I am waiting in anticipation.
So good luck for Luna. I hope you will have a lot of nice puppies. It's going to be tiring for you Colin. Your sweater is wonderful, really. Congratulations.
