Finished Object: Silverberg Sweater

Another week, another finished object (this is not going to be an every week thing, I’m sure of it).

I recently finished Norah Gaughan’s Silverberg sweater pattern, which was designed for Berroco. The original was a short-sleeved, giant cowled sweater worked in a fluffy blend of alpaca, nylon and wool.

I made mine long-sleeved (I just did one extra decrease on the sleeves and knit to a length I wanted) and used a wool yarn I had in my stash (Rowan Chunky Print, which has been discontinued). Check out my version on Ravelry and the original project page, where you can buy the pattern for $6.

I feel like it came out bigger than I meant it, and that cowl is crazy huge, but I still really like it and it’s super warm and cozy, perfect for the last cold days of winter.

Have you finished any projects lately? I’d love to hear about it!
