I am so excited to share my finished Earth and Air Sweater Test designed by James Watts. The knitting pattern for this fantastic sweater is now live on Ravelry and you should totally scoop it up once launched!!
The Earth and Air Sweater is a breeze to knit after you get the hang of the 2 color brioche stitch (its really not hard just takes a bit of focus at first!). I finished it in a month but I could have finished sooner if I didn’t procrastinate on the last bits as I always seem to do with every knit!
I went with the size M for my 36” bust which gives a finished circumference of 46”. While I am tall I did not adjust the length as the 19” is a good cropped length on me with high waisted pants. After seeing Park Williams version on Instagram I decided to go for short sleeves because I love the look and it honestly will get more wear than long sleeves in the climate I live in.
This sweater is a GREAT stash buster it uses so little for such an awesome finished project. I used some yarn I had kicking around in my stash for YEARS. I have some other single skeins of Kid Silk yarn that I am defiantly now scheming up using in another version of this sweater!
