Knitting Portfolio I

I thought I'd share a selection of photographs of a few of projects I've knitted over the past several years. The Items shown are:
1) a pair of cotton socks I knit for my husband featuring a combination of two texture patterns on the leg; an all-over ribbing, and a narrow, acorn-like pattern in a row up the calf,
2) a large green wrap/scarf with a nubbly texture pattern (moss stitch, if I recall correctly) which I knit for myself, and
3) a color pattern sweater completely of my own design which I knit my husband while we were engaged. I am particularly proud of this project; from the complicated colorwork on the front and sleeves to the ribbing and various cables of my own invention on the back, this sweater took untold hours to complete. Despite coming up with most of the color patterns while knitting (and not writing any of it down while I did it), I gave this sweater two symmetrically patterned sleeves, and echoed several motifs between the sleeves and body to create a more coherent garment.
