Honey Wheat Pullover - Finished!

I took this project with me on our annual trip to Florida to visit Bruce's Mom.  That is the reason I started it, I needed some good car knitting.  I knit most of the body on the trip down, knit one sleeve on Christmas Eve and the other on Christmas day.  I still need to block it. I did a couple of minor modifications to the pattern.  I did not do any decreases in the sleeves until I got to the detail patterning just above the cuff, then I did all of the decreases evenly spaced around the row.  I also replaced the k1, p1 ribbing with k2, p1 ribbing, which I prefer the look of.  On the sleeve cuffs the ribbing ended up lining up with the detail pattern quite nicely.

Pattern:  Bombay Sapphire by Thea Colman (Baby Cocktails)
Yarn:  Plucky Knitter Primo Worsted in Honey Wilkes
Needles:  US 6 (4 mm)

Honey Wheat Pullover

I started knitting the swatch for this pullover a couple of weeks ago, and last week I finally cast on the project.  It is Bombay Sapphire by Thea Colman from Baby Cocktails.  The yarn is Primo Worsted from the Plucky Knitter, the color is Honey Wilkes.  I needed a mindless project to work on, and I do love top down raglans.  Needle size is US 6 (4 mm).

This is my first time knitting one of Thea's patterns, and I have to say the pattern is very well written, and I like her design aesthetic.
