I finally finished my 2nd Iceberg sweater! I have to say it's quite comfortable and warm. Especially when our temp is still 1 degree!
this was a quickie picture...Bob and I were heading out for errands so a quick snap! I have to say it's really soft and a comfortable sweater. I used Cascade Yarns 220 Superwash.
The pattern is called Iceberg by Hinterm Stein and can be purchased on Ravelry.
I made this same sweater and finished it back in January of 2024....but started it in 2023. It turned out really nice BUT guess who forgot and put it in the washing machine with a load of laundry. Then it went in the dryer!
Well, it turned out to be a cute little sweater for a 10 year old! I was so mad. I really liked the pattern so decided to remake it.
What's really interesting is I'm looking at the wrapper on the yarn I purchased for the current sweater...and guess what! I can put in washer and dryer.
For the pink sweater, I used Snuggly Cashmere Merino Silk DK...guess what...you can't put that yarn in washing machine and dryer! DUH!!!
As usual life go in the way.....making book marks for our book sale, making my Christmas cards, yada....
So January 2026, I decided to pick up the sweater and just get it finished. I started on the sleeves after the first of the year (2026) and finished this past weekend!
Thank goodness it's done and no longer hanging around like homework I have to finish! HA HA







Beautiful work! And wash and dryable, fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteThat sweater is beautiful, and it fits you perfectly! I accidentally shrunk the very first sweater I ever made. I thought I had made it with washable wool, but turns out only some of it was washable.
ReplyDeleteAt least this yarn is machine washable and dryable! HA
