There’s a name for the yummy turtleneck sweater I test knit: Vaahtokarkki (Marshmallow) by Pirkko Jokela

The test knit is finished! It took me about two weeks but there were a couple of false starts and lots of frogging because I didn’t read the pattern as carefully as I should have. :)

I’m calling this one Frostbitten although the pattern doesn’t have an official name yet.

• Frostbitten
• Pattern: by Pirkko Jokela / The Knitting Cow. Will be published in a 2012 knitting wall calendar later this year.
• Yarn: 5 skeins (545 yards / 499 m) of Garnstudio DROPS Andes (65% wool, 35% alpaca) in #7120 (light gray green)
• Needles: 8.0 and 9.0 mm

Love it! I want to make another one!

Test knitting a sweater pattern in Drops Andes for The Knitting Cow. I’ve never used the contiguous sleeves method before but I’m a convert! And the yarn is just soft and super warm.
