You wanted knitting, you got knitting!
I finished my first top-down sweater today, as part of the Ready, Set, Knit knitalong with Pixie and Kathy at Webs.
Made from a mercerized cotton... I'll post details when I go out to the car and grab my knitting bag. I named it Tequila Sunrise in honor of the gorgeous colorway, not in honor of how I've been getting through this week without John.
So easy, so fun, so addicting!
I'm ready to do another top-down.
ETA: Here are the details:
knit in the roundwith 1050 yards (one skein) of Blue Heron Yarns mercerized cotton in Tulip. Fun!
Top Down is definitely the way to go. Yours is beautiful!

Gorgeous sweater! Love the colors! I wish I could get into mercerized...I tried knitting a sweater for my niece out of some Tahki earlier this year, but it just didn't float for me. I am using some for the trim on a sweater I'm doing in Debbie Bliss Cathay, though, so maybe if I just ease into it? LOL
