From the first moment I saw this sweater I knew it had to be mine.It's a wonder what they put in those photos over at Quince & Co. because they truly have me with every single one!
Pattern: Belfast Hoodie By Carrie Bostick Hoge
Yarn: Quince & Co. Lark, Chantrelle, 12 balls
Needles: US 9 & US 8 needles
Raveled
Not much I can say about this other than I Love It. Carrie truly has a great eye for design. I made no modifications to the pattern – not even when it came to picking up for the pockets. I like em' as I see 'em! Plus, as you would expect, the pattern was well written. Clear directions and a great sweater schematic!
As for the yarn, it's soft, squshy and blossmed just a bit after blocking. My rule of thumb with any sweater I make is that I like to be a wee bit tighter on my gauge – maybe about a 1/4 stitch. The stitches will grow.
All in all – LOVE.
I wonder what sweater will captivate me next!
What's tickling your fancy these days?
This is so lovely. But I am partial to anything with a hood! Perfect!

The pockets are awesome! I must say the design didn’t seem all that special when I saw it on their site, but you’ve brought my attention to some very cool details in it.

Fabulous sweater!! Like you, I am a total sucker for the Quince photography. I’m about to start swatching for the lace shrug in Sparrow which completely seduced me when it came out a few weeks ago.

Great sweater. It has been a while since I have knit a fun sock pattern. That is what I am looking forward to starting.
