Yes ladies a sweater from sock yarn, I picked it up at Harrogate last year. Made from Fortissima Colori. I doubt it will be finished by the end of January but at least I've started it!!! These are the backs and I've done a sleeve. Just the fronts to do and another sleeve!!

Gorgeous. Is it 4ply sock yarn? There's no way I'd ever knit a sweater in 4ply for myself. It'd take me the rest of my life to knit one in my size. Laughing

That's looking great so far Very Happy

. Have you split the back because of short colour repeats or is the pattern like that?

It will look great when you are finished. The sock wool makes the project really interesting, you don't quite know how it will turn out.

Is it for the SWRI?
