Mosaic Moon "Srappy" Sweater

I finally finished Garrett's Euclid cardigan today. The knitting part was done a couple days ago but I had to wash and block it before I sewed the zipper in.

I found a great tutorial on how to sew a zipper in here: http://pickinandthrowin.blogspot.com/2007/02/sewing-zipper-into-cardigan.html

All of the colorway yarns were dyed by my favorite yarn dyer, Mosaic Moon. http://hyenacart.com/MosaicMoon/

I dyed the trim myself. I actually dyed it to do a striped sweater for last year but never got around to it. It has several shades of brown that match every colorway I used. For me, that is what makes scrappy projects pleasing to the eye. To each their own, that is just what floats my scrappy boat.

The night I finished it I laid a zipper in it to see how it was going to look...and no more then 15 seconds after I placed it on the floor to take a picture...Bruin plops his cat butt on it.
