Dudes! I finished my candy-colored clown sweater over the weekend.
It is really fuzzy and very, very toasty. I got the yarn (Sorbet) and the pattern at Artfibers back in July! The armholes came out rather snug, and the collar is kind of funky (perhaps as a result of the snug armholes), but I think it’s workable enough (this is the type of rationalization you hear from someone who is way too lazy and future oriented to fix or redo anything). This was my first time doing those knit-in pocket dealies, which was fun.
Okay, hope everyone had a nice Valentine’s Day. I made red Jell-O to celebrate. Gotta go watch the Westminster Dog Show now. Go hounds!
I LOVE it!! It looks so fresh and spring-y and different from anything I’ve seen someone knit in a long time. Cute, cute, cute! (In a nice way…)
Wow! That looks really cheery. Very cute! Happy Valentine’s!
It looks so snuggly. It’s beautiful.
That is so you. Love it.
Any blog post that starts with “Dudes” already has me amused. I think the yarn they have at Artfibers is so unique – I have a stash of Ziti in my closet and you’re inspiring me to get it out!
I was rooting for the terriers.
Ooh la la! That’s really merry. The pocket detail is certainly worth trying out.
“Future-oriented.” Check. That one’s going into my vocabulary for sure.
That is generally very cute, and specifically very Mariko-appropriate. The pockets and color combo really make that sweater.
The collar’s great! The color’s great! The whole freakin’ sweater is great!
It’s fab on you! Oh, to be as young and tiny as you so I could pull something like that off…..but what a wonderful chase-the-winter-blues-away sweater.
Oooh! That is a very fun sweater. Love the pockets! (decided I would tell you that directly instead of just telling Strug for once 🙂
It’s gorgeous.
I’m charting raglan patterns right now and writing generators. Jim’s sideways knit one came out well (Jim in sweater. ) But, armhole depth was one of the things that worried me.
Out of curiosity, how deep are the armholes on your sweater?
Yah, I was so happy to see the Bloodhound win (I am hoping I was watching the same dog show:) As I have a hound too! Yah, Hounds.
Your sweater is great and it looks so soft and cozy. Perfect for the weather we are having. It looks like the rain in your area is headed right for me (upper S.B. county). Stay warm and dry.
the girlreaction she wonders, did the super eggplant get herself a haircut?
Very nice and fluffy! I hope it elicited a lot of cuddly hugs from your honey for V-Day!
Awesome sweater, Mariko! I love the contrasting pocket details!
Cheerio from PDX!

It’s really funky and cool! But … I would never wear these 2 colours together, forgive me. You are a real brave gal!

Oh how I love the clown sweater!
it’s too cute – it’s like the KnitHappens mascot sweater! (same colors as their site) I love it – and only you could pull off pink and green and look that hip, girl!
The words: clown sweater? Very scary!
The result? Just wonderful!!
Great colors! I like the fuzziness of the yarn.
Wow! Great! Good thing there’s an ocean between us, or it might mysteriously disappear.
MARIKO! This is so darn cute! You pull this off wonderfully.
Ah. Future-oriented. That’s what I am — now I have a name for why I don’t rip out/back.
That sweater is AWESOME on you. I’m glad I was there at its inception…
🙂
SO CUTE. Great job. I’m totally with ya on the “future-oriented” thing – just never thought to put it so positively before.
