Getting Knitty - Fourth

Fourth piece:



Another Zoë Mellor piece. This one took me the best part of a month to make because it was the first time that I had knit a figure into anything. It was also the first time I used quality yarn! The yarn was Rowan Cotton Glace, as the pattern in the book exactly called for, and the total cost of making this sweater, without my time added in, was about $60. But I thought my nephew was worth it!

However, my sister-in-law didn't. She 'passed on' the the sweater immediately. She hadn't realised I'd knitted it myself and thought I'd just bought it. It didn't go over my nephew's head, so she gave it to a jumble sale.
