Brrr...... The wind is howling outside, and it is cold, for Georgia anyway. Yesterday it was in the eighties and today, I wonder if it will reach sixty degrees. I finished this sweater Monday night, and not a moment to soon. I am going to wear this to work today in hopes that it will keep me warm.
I am very pleased with the way this sweater turned out. Nohing fancy, just a plain top down raglan with a little brown detail. I started this early last spring and never finished it. I used Peace Fleece I like working with Peace Fleece. It is very substantial and the combination of the mohair and wool is awesome. I also like their philosohy and story, check it out if you are unfamiliar with them. I was thinking of doing another cardigan in their wool as I have a good bit of it in my stash. It is a brown color if I remember correctly.
I started a scarf out of Kureyon with a pattern from the Noro #15 leaflet more on that tomorrow or Saturady. I must say I am in love with kureyon, it is so addictive. more on that note later. All for now.
Looks like a fine and handy sweater, Max. Nice job. And I love your attitude with regards to the Suki at the beach. Darn straight, they're made for use.

Just curious, is the peace fleece "itchy"? I have eyed it quite a bit but have not ordered it because I wondered about it's texture.

Fabulous! That looks like the perfect keep-out-the-winter-chill sweater. It's such a terrific feeling to finish a project.
