Classic wavy cable "beach" sweater


Pattern: Jo Sharp "Classic Wavy Cable" from Family, Book #7
Size: B (bust 35-39), version 1
Yarn: Rowan All Seasons Cotton, color 191 (jersey/off white)
Needles: US 8
At first, I thought, "oh no, this thing is huge!" but I'm actually loving it. That was what I had in mind when I decided to knit this oversized, roomy, "beach" sweater. And now that I look back at the photos in the pattern book, it's supposed to be huge!
I took my time, seaming and reseaming certain areas, and I'm really happy with the results. The neck "rolls" perfectly. This will be a great sweater for a cool and windy day...just like it was today. Now I just have to find a beach...
