Last Christmas' Skull Sweater
















I knit this pattern from the DomiKNITrix book for my husband last Christmas. It was the hardest project I have ever made (I must say I don't like intarsia) but the result was very satisfying. I used some wool yarn I had bought in Ecuador in the summer of 2007. Not very luxurious, it's rather itchy actually, but very, very warm! I used the 6mm needles that she suggests but knit it flat. I also remember there was a mistake in the pattern for the arm, which I figured out too late and had to unravel the whole thing... Oh well, that taught me to check for book errata online before I start a project!

And here is a picture of my husband wearing it! I think it's really cute.
