This is the sweater that lovely Lucy made for me. I made this sweater first but it was so big it would never have worked. Partly it was weight loss and partly it was my tension. So, Lucy offered to rip it out and make it for me and well with an offer like that, how could I resist? She did a beautiful job. The day that she completed the sweater it was over 90 degrees and so it was not going to be able to be worn until the fall. But lucky for us we got a cold spell and I was able to wear it twice. The sweater is made with yarn from New Zealand. It is called Naturally Sensation which is 70% Merino and 30% Angora. It really feels nice next to your skin. The yarn that was added to the neck and sleeves was Blue Heron Rayon Metallic yarn. Then with the rest of the Rayon Metallic yarn I am making a necklace and I am using the Mag Knits magnet is brushed silver. What is so nice about this yarn is that I can wear it with this green sweater and I can also wear it with the one I am currently making. I am not sure what color the one I am making is but it is in the deep purple family. Purples and greens look so nice together. I will post the picture of the completed necklace next time. I am almost at the point where I am going to start Heather's shrug. Heather as in my daughter.
