Forerunner Warms The Frozen North
Okay, not all of it, but all the parts in my immediate vicinity!

Look what came in my mailbox today:

Forerunner Warms The Frozen North - Fiber Arts

And it's got a hood! I think this has got to be the most perfect "fishing in the fall" sweater ever made.

Forerunner Warms The Frozen North - Fiber Arts

THANK YOU FR!

I went to the mailbox on my way into town and when I saw the return address on the box, I used my car keys to open it up and put the sweater on right then and there! It snowed here yesterday (not the kind that stays, but it is chilly) and it was absolutely perfect. I smiled all the way to town ... the perfect colours for me, the perfect fit, the perfect gift.

Thank you, I shall treasure it ... and wear it!

Yay! That is the perfect color and fit! You done good Forerunner!
So glad you have cool weather to get to enjoy it. Still 60+ degrees here. I would probably melt in one of those lovely sweaters. Sad, cause I do love sweaters. Maybe I should move north......

I'm not usually a sweater guy, but that is very cool, and the functionality cannot be denied.

*whispers in Frazzle's ear*

That nifty little hood trim is a liner that folds in to really keep the wind out from around your face....as well as can be rolled back to the outside to make a neat trim......my own design....and, ummm, no pattern to confuse the issues.

What fun.

Aha! A foldable hood cuff!

Around here we also have parkas with hoods that make a tunnel like this, excellent to keep the snow out if it is really blowing, so I see it is multipurpose! I'll try folding it too, how clever.

The colours are awesome. Don't think I'll ever get much beyond my 8mm needles, but I'm definitely inspired to play with knitting mulitiple strands of yarn now!

That's an awesome sweater!! I may just have to go back and reread where he talks about how he does these. That whole moving to Nebraska soon thing has my poor very southern body freezing just thinking about it! Lol
