I am especially pleased with Clyde. The shape is my own but the pattern itself may be mine or it may not be. I can't recall. I know I farted about with it in DesignAKnit before I downloaded and knitted it. It may well be a pattern from elsewhere that I have altered.
The yarn is 4ply(fingering) weight 100% wool. Knitted using a Garter Carriage on the Brother 940. Gauge is 32 / 43 per 10cm. or 8 /10.75 pi.
The neckline is just how I wanted it. I do believe it is the first time I have knitted a plain crew like this which fits me just so. I like my necks to fit close but it is difficult to knit for this and still be able to get it over one's head. This easily goes over my head and the collar sits close to my neck.
My usual half raglan set in sleeve.
Side seams match (as do shoulder seams)

Very smart. Your finishing is superb. I have seen sweaters before that were beautifully designed and knit and the construction was a disaster. Your attention to detail is excellent. Are you taking this one on holiday? You must be getting excited. Will you be posting while you are away or will I be bereft for 2 weeks?
Fabulous Colin, love the pattern and the colour.
BTW enjoy your holiday
This sweater is beautiful!
Oh my gosh -- this one is beautiful! Love the pattern and REALLY love the color.
Have a great time in Hungary!
I love this design and the finishing is awesome. The precise matching makes the design classic, elegant and awesome! Another good job, Colin. Enjoy your vacation.
