Miguel's Aran

Just finished an Aran - something I don't knit very often. It was frustrating at times because of all the knitting and purling and keeping track of each pattern. I used Briggs and Little Regal in natural on 4.5 mm needles. Hope you can see the big cable in the back. The design of the sweater is mine but I got the pattern for the cables from various sources.

The sweater is amazing. I have done aran/cable pattern sweaters in the past, but not as difficult. Its fits beatifully. I have always been a fan of raglan sleeves. GREAT JOB!

It looks both stylish and comfortable. I'm sure Miguel will enjoy it for years to come. (And if he doesn't, just say, and you'll have several volunteers to take it off his hands.)

You always do such beautiful work. I think this is a very sophisticated Aran. By that I mean it's not too busy and has just the right amount of texture to make it very attractive. Well done!

I did the sweater a la Elizabeth Zimmermann and joined the sleeves to the body and then decreased for the raglan.
