Slip Stitch Pullover Front

The sample for my new knitting pattern, a slip stitch pullover, is coming along nicely.  Here are a couple of pictures of the front, almost completed.  There's just a few more rows to do, then I'll be casting off for the shoulders.  The multi coloured yarn I'm using, Shepherd Colour 4 Me Prints, continually fascinates me in the way that it arranges itself in this piece.  I keep seeing pixels when I look at this big-picture view.  Knitting it up close, I don't see that at all.  Step back and you see a whole different picture.  I'm so happy to see on Shepherd page, that the colour way I've chosen is called Bramble.  I didn't know it had a name up until now, and what a cute one! 
I'll be starting the sleeves soon.  Very exciting!!  I'll be using the same stitch pattern as this for the cuffs, then plain purple stocking stitch for the rest, so it should go much quicker.

Although it's three and a half years since I've posted in this blog, it seems that this is still the place where quite a few people are finding my patterns.  It's time to revive this blog!  I've renamed it to Wakeful Knits and I've changed the look a little bit.  I've added a tab at the top where you can find all of my scarf and cowl patterns. I'll gradually be adding tabs for other types of patterns too.
The latest project I'm working on is this slip stitch pullover.  Here's the completed back.  I'm partway through the front and hope to get a bit more done soon.
Welcome to my reactivated blog!
