Oblique Eggplant, on the needles

At last year's Stitches West, I bought $200 of Malabrigo Mechita yarn in the hopes of making my most ambitious sweater yet: Oblique Motion ($7 here).

Swatched, pattern printed, yarn balled... even bought some nifty hexagonal needles. Game on.

That was in February of 2015. It was some slow going:

I blocked the sweater last week and am working on the finishing touches, better photos. So stay tuned, it's a beauty... Only took 11 months to finish.
