I am very pleased with the outcome especially after I blocked the sweater after a Eucalan bath. I must admit you need to think about whether or not to use Eucalan with some sweaters. There are times when I'm making a sweater when I'd like to avoid making the fabric softer.....consider a sweater/jacket made with Bartlett, Candide or Green Mountain Spinnery yarn. I find that I'd like the stiffness of this yarn and its resulting fabric so much in a design that a bath in another wool wash is best for my purposes.
Click on the picture below to see the lovely flecks in the linen stitch pattern. I love this yarn.
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting DD and SIL's newly adopted cat, Lizzie. She is delightful and resembles my own Ruth.................
I also enjoyed her wonderful hydrangeas...................they are so special when they are blooming and approaching the end of their season.

The sweater couldn't be better. I love the pattern, yarn and buttons. The delays completion can only make the end more sweet, right? Right?? The cat is adorable. Charlie loves her and if they decide they don't want her, he does.
Beautiful sweater and the buttons are perfect.
Pretty kitty!
Your Jolie is beautiful! And I agree with Sharon...the yarn, buttons and pattern are perfect!
Love the hydrangeas...they remind me of "antique flowers" with their sepia tones....
The jacket is beautiful; the tweed goes so well with the pattern. Liaaie looks like a sweetie!
Beautiful sweater! I love tweed yarns!
I love the jacket,too. Perfect color, buttons and pattern. It's looks great on you.
The new cat adoptee, Lizzie, looks just like my Tipper except he has a white speck on his nose.
The hydrangea bush looks pretty near the fence.
