Escape from Sleeve Island

Here’s another sweater that made it off Sleeve Island this spring. It’s my Spector designed by Joji Locatelli (that’s a Ravelry link) in Madeline Tosh Merino Light (that’s a link to the MadTosh site.) I started this one in July 2020 and actually finished the first sleeve before stalling out. Mine is knit in four colours of MadTosh ML – Saffron, Red Phoenix, Spicewood and Simmer Pot.

It’s a kind of a rib stitch, so it’s stretchy in the crosswise.

I’ve blogged about this one before: here’s the first post about it, just after I cast on.

Part of the reason this project stalled out was that I tried it on after finishing one sleeve and wasn’t thrilled about the fit. It fits but I don’t find it particularly flattering. It’s done, though, and maybe I’ll wear it as a layer under other things next winter. The yarn is really soft against the skin.
