This is the two-continent, three-country sweater.

I started this dreamy, manly sweater in Hamburg, knitted on it in London, and finished it up here in Vancouver. It’s made from Honorwood’s DK weight, natural black Shetland yarn (available on their site), and I just adore the greyish-black tone of the wool and the strength and softness of the finished garment. The sweater’s hem facings are mustard yellow, and stand out nicely when you happen to see them. All in all, I’m utterly thrilled with it!

Want to make your own? Go now, go go go, and buy EZ’s Knitting Without Tears. I also consulted Brooklyn Tweed’s fantastic post on this sweater, and guessed a bit at the yoke construction, but the guessing is half the fun!

Those saddle shoulders and simple lines flatter a man’s shoulders so nicely, don’t you think?
