Yesterday was a cast-on party, after 8 months spent knitting my Shetland cardigan.

Second project started. Using single balls of Shetland yarn, with Ouessant wool, to experiment with the Paul Klee Sweater. As it happens, it resembles his painting ‘Blue Night’ (1937).

Pattern: Paul Klee Sweater (Midori Hirose)

Yarn: Jamieson's of Shetland Shetland Spindrift & Bouclelaine Ouessant

Left: yoke following the Paul Klee Sweater pattern (Midori Hirose)

Right: yoke following the Peeta pattern (Nadia Crétin-Léchenne)

Edit: Midori Hirose's pattern calls for a higher neckline, so the loose neckline is partly my fault. The construction of a jumper with a yoke is complicated, in order to avoid an impractical jumper and unintentional penguin arms.

@joe Cette laine (Jamieson's of Shetland) est teinte dans un grand nombre de couleurs, ce qui permet un travail des couleurs vraiment génial. Et puis les noms des couleurs utilisées : Cosmos, Sky, Atlantic, Lomond, Highland Mist, Midnight...

@nobyeni The pattern is extremely detailed, each step is very clear. I need to make a few adjustments, because I don't like yokes that restrict movement, so the pattern helps me know where to make the adjustments.
