The first project on my new Bond knitting machine. The general idea for the sweater came from a picture on the Phildar’s site. I tried to make the same sleeves, but they came out much wider. I liked the result and decided to keep them like that. The Phildar’s creation doesn’t have a knitted body, so that part of the sweater was all mine idea. Not all of the sweater was made on the Bond. I hand knitted the ribbed edge around the neck and at the front closure. I crocheted around black plastic buttons.
Yarn: Bernat’s Satin (100% acrylic)

This is Gorgeous!! I love it!! I would love to make this but I live in Tropical North Queensland Australia and would rairly get the chance to wear it!! Great effort looks great on!!
Miss Lauren; I would give away my sweater to be in your Tropical North Queensland Australia at this moment. New York weather right now is nothing to brag about; rainy and gray.
The sweater looks great! Is the Bond knitting machine hard to operate? it looked really difficult when I saw a picture of one.
Bond machine takes practice to master. I had to start over my sweater few times before I mached the right size of the plate with my yarn and cable design. It tought me to always make a sample square (40x50) like the instructions say. It takes only couple minutes on the bond and saves a lot of time later on. If you get the machine you should watch the video at least twice before starting a project. It makes a lot of sense.
it looks great on you and fit you perfect!
looks absolutely wonderful! (made me wanting a knitting machine. how much time did it take you to knit this - i mean the part you have done with the machine?)
It took me about 8-9 hrs. However it was my very firs Bond Project and I have to admit I was too ambitious with it because I struggled a bit in the begining and had to start over few times. It would be very helpfull if I practiced small/simple pieces first as the instructions recommend.
that's really nice and looks super comfy! i like that you crocheted around the buttons, it adds a nice touch
Beautiful sweater! Very well done.
I want the sweater and the machine. Awesome.
So cool! I used to wear this kind of sweather, my mama made it always by hand but never made on one piece!! I love the sleeves.
Gorgeous!
I like it! Especially the buttons.
Oh please, could you tell something about the pattern? this is such a unique sweater. I would like to do something similar.
your sweater is gorgeous!
