I read Elizabeth Zimmermans’ “Knitting Without Tears” and with the knowledge I gained of her EPS, I managed to put together this sweater. It’s the first time I have knitted a sweater without using a pattern as such and I love the results! Very keen to cast on another one soon as I was able to make this one so quickly, even though the ends were a bit of a nightmare!

I have a massive amount of pure wool on cones, most of it is 4 ply and much of it is JC Rennie Shetland wool. I used mainly JC Rennie Shetland 4ply. Not sure of the shades as the labels were missing for most, but I also used some other wools.

To give you a rough idea of quantities, the finished garment weighs 315g, so divided by 15 mean that you’ll only need about 21g in each colour.
