3 dollar sweater

Many months ago I bought this bulky, ill fitting sweater for 3 bucks at the Louisville thrift shop.

See? Very ill fitting.

But I bought it for the yarn. The only clues about the yarn is a tag saying "100% wool. Made in Ireland"



I measured and weighed. There is a lot of yarn here.

Then, for a going away present, the Boulder Knitting Collective gave me a pattern I'd been lusting after for ages, Berkshire Dolman. Ta - da! A three dollar hand knit sweater.
