Streamlined or not, I think whatever sweater you end up knitting an wearing will inevitably be a work of art.

Sorry about the disappointment of St. Brigid. You did do a lovely job on her.
I have no ideas for you on your new Rhinebeck sweater. Which, honestly, kinda surprises me. I am the queen of cabled sweaters.

I just didn’t think I’d wear it. Actually, I’m pretty sure it would have worn ME.
It’s great to be busy, but I hope you still have an overwhelming passion for the work that is keeping you busy. I <3 Knotions. *hugs*

It is hard to wear “too warm” sweaters unless you are outside all day. The buildings keep their heat way too high, so the minute you come inside with your beautiful warm sweater, you just burn up.
Your knitting is absolutely beautiful and I really enjoy reading your blog and Knotions. -Liana

Of course I don’t cook nearly as often as I knit.
If you’re looking for another cable project with just one big cable you might want to try Rebecca magazine 32 design no. 28. It’s free online and has one giant cable down the front. It’s very pretty, but the yarn is a bit bulky. I made it once, but wouldn’t make it again unless using thinner yarn.

Like Knotions and best wishes. I think St. Brigid is beautiful and I think you did a wonderful job. Your mastery of knitting just blows me away. I don’t think you look bad at all in the sweater. This maybe one of those sweaters where it is beautiful and wonderful but not for everyone. Maybe a lighter (dk) version for better ease. I’dunno. I think you did a terrific job and it is stunning. Might you be a little hard on yourself? You could always raffle it off. I’d buy tickets! LOL.
I’ve been trying to find sweaters using a tweed yarn, and cables. I’m craving that!

It is true about human nature and evolution. I look forward to seeing your progress on this years Rhinebeck sweater. :)
