Maria's Snoopy Sweater Completed

Here are Colin (left) & Caitlin (right) posing in front of the Snoopy sweater I knitted for my sister, Maria.  I used the Knitting Pure & Simple Classic Drop Shoulder Pullover (#9729) pattern and centered the Snoopy design on it.  I knitted the sleeves in the round from the top down.  I started off using my size 7 (4.5 mm) Addi Lace Clicks and the spring inside one of the tips broke after I completed the back.  Skacel sent me another tip as I explained I now live at least an hour from any yarn stores.  I used my fixed Addi Turbo needles for the rest of the sweater with size 5 (3.75 mm) for the ribbing.  I had a gauge of about 4.7 sts and 6.5 rows per inch.  The neck looks a little small, so we will see how that works out.  I used Impeccable acrylic yarn which comes in a nice variety of primary colors.  I worked intarsia for most of the design and duplicate stitched Snoopy's ear & nose, the grass, and the black lines going across the yellow and red sections of the barn.

Great work! How many of these have you done?

Good to hear that they sent you a replacement for the broken tip. I would not have expected that to happen.

Lovely sweater and I love Snoopy. Colin & Caitlin are so good to have their picture taken. My girls love dogs and have been asking for one.
