I’ve had Susan Crawford’s A Stitch in Time for a while, mostly for the eye candy. (Those gorgeous, gorgeous vintage sweaters! Sigh.) At some point, I even bought yarn for the Enchanting in Black and White pattern, promptly put it in a box and forgot about it. I’m a fickle person. After finishing my Jen cardi, I figured sweater knitting couldn’t get any worse, so I might as well do this. Now that I’m done, I wish I had started knitting garments with this pullover! The pattern was so easy to follow and turned out so beautiful. (Well, except that one little accident where I ran out of black yarn two rows before finishing the front. Luckily I had a different black yarn the same weight around.)
