All finished.
Pattern: Tomten by Elizabeth Zimmerman as in "The Opinionated Knitter"
Needles: US size 7 addis
For: the wee so toddler size 3T or so.
Yarn: lots
some of my handspun;
Marr Haven Merino-Ramboillet Wool worsted yarn in medium grey and natural;
Beaverslide Dry Goods Mc Taggart Tweed in Bison, Arrowleaf Balsamroot and Big Sky Heather
Mods: I opted for a hoodless version and I added a single crochet seam around the front and neck openings instead of EZ's i-cord.
As for the pattern, I loved it. So simple and perfectly logical. Nothing fussy or quirky which made for the perfect knit to watch with a pile of netflix each evening. I watch all of Masterpiece Theatre's Jane Eyre and even began The Forsyth Saga, both of which I highly recommend.
I loved knitting a sweater in the round. I had quite a few ends to weave in as I changed colors in some cases on every row, but it was worth it as I think it added to the rustic charm of the sweater.
I loved the Zimmerman pattern so, I have already cast on for a yoke neck sweater for the wee in my handspun yarn. I am using EZ's eps system so wish me luck.
And I loved this pic just prior to finishing sleeve number two.
