Fair isle sweater



Yesterday I gave this Fair Isle yoke sweater to my friend Jimena. Back in November she asked me if I could knit her a sweater, and after choosing the yarns, the design for the yoke, and many hours knitting, the sweater was done. I think it's the most beautiful thing I've knit so far, and I really wanted to keep it for myself. But just seeing how well it fit her, and how much she liked it, made me the happiest girl ever. Now, I should make one for myself :)

Oh! If you're interested on the pattern, I didn't use any, just followed a "recipe" by Elizabeth Zimmermann. You can see more details on my Ravelry account, I'm juliabe there as well.
