Santa Fe Sweater

 
 






 A mad dash to finish up this one.
Leaving for Santa Fe New Mexico and thought this would be fun to bring along
 and I made it- whew!
 
The pattern is a simple top down, I did the ribbing in different colors
and crochet the button band.
 
 Used my own naturally plant dyed yarn
 dyed with
 Madder, Indigo, Weld (my favorite) Walnut Hull, Cutch, Himalayan Rhubarb and Lac
 its quite the process
but worth it.
 
Quirky and colorful
 it fits my personality
 
What are you knitting?

    You look completely beautiful, Camilla - your new (amazing) sweater suits you very well :) Wishing you safe and happy travels, I just know you will come back feeling wonderfully inspired by the change of landscape and colours too. xo p.s. I couldn't help noticing we have the very same boots - fun!

    Wow you're a fast knitter, or you've got plenty of time, but I doubt the latter :-)
    The colors match perfectly in this sweater, matches your hair too! Gorgeous!

    Every time I see this the bright colours make me so happy. I would NEVER have imagined creating a sweater like this, or pairing such vibrant stripes, but my word, this is becoming one of my favourites. :) Happy Spring!

    I love it, it is so cheerful! And all the more special if the yarn is hand-dyed in a natural way. Have fun in Sante Fe!
