I think this will do very well as my contribution to #Stunday this Sunday. It's a very fancy watering place for the carriage horses in the town.

A bit of fun with colourwork. Anatolian, Faroese, Fair Isle and Latvian (braid) patterns all cobbled together for one glorious Christmas sweater. Here it's still on the needles. Pics of finished sweater to follow.

Last touches done and I'm wearing it. Still not blocked. That will even out the stitches a bit whenever it happens. Probably when it needs a wash. Surprisingly soft too! But then, I'm practically impervious to the scratchiness of wool on skin.
