Proof That I'm Losing My Mind


I would call the sweater that Piccolo is wearing in the photo with the Man one of my favorites. I knit the body with Christopher Sheep Farm wool, in a lovely candy apple red, and did the collar in some mill end Lorna's Laces. The bands are wool/mohair from Cloverleaf Farms, and the tips are Kimmet Croft wool. A lovely collection of fibers, I must say, knit about two years ago. I didn't realize until I put both sweater into some wool wash yesterday that I almost duplicated the color combination with a freshly made sweater for Piccolo's ever growing wardrobe. The bottom sweater is knit in Lucy Neatby's Blue Faced Aran for the body, Blackberry Ridge wool/mohair for the bands, and Cascade 220 for the tips.
