FO: Gray Day Pullover

When I set out to challenge myself this fall to knit my fall/winter wardrobe, I was really excited because I wanted to both push myself as a knitter and to add unique pieces to my somewhat spare sweater collection.  I had no idea how much fun I would have searching for patterns, adding favorites to my queue, choosing yarn, and casting on.  This isn't to say that I've not come across snags but overall, knitting me-size garments has been a terrific experience. My Gray Day Pullover is one such example, and I've already worn it out a few times in the last several weeks.

These photos were taken during a recent weekend jaunt up to Saratoga Springs, NY, which I'll write about soon and the weekend was more than crisp enough to wear my new cozy sweater.  The pattern is incredibly simple to follow although for my version, I eliminated knitting with two colors. 

Since I'm petite with narrow shoulders, arms, and hips, this sweater is a little large on me -- I should have knit the smallest size and will do that when I knit this sweater again, next time following the pattern more faithfully and knitting stripes in the yoke and along the bottom hem.

It's been a little warm here in NY, but I hear that this weekend will be perfect fall weather so I'll be donning this sweater while I work on my Bedford in the sunshine.

Happy weekend, everyone!
