{Mohair blend Peacock-stitch Sweater Knitted by Me}

Just like to show you my hand knitted Peacock-stitch sweater in a mohair blend. Since I've always loved ajour knitting, this was a great pattern for me.
Photo is taken on March 25, under our weeping peach...
The sun was rather bright...
Relief of one cloud... creates different shades of pink.
That's the peacock pattern!
And my silver bracelet for my birthday... with roses.
The days for wearing a sweater with mohair are over, till we get into fall again.
This is where I got the idea from...
Sweater in Peacock stitch.
Pattern is in Dutch...
One more sweater in Peacock stitch...
Do, or did you love to knit sweaters in ajour knit, like this peacock pattern?

There are two blog-ladies whom I admire for their knitting of sweaters and such: Anett from Fadenstille  and Marlies from Bergzauber stricken.
Of course, there is Mieke from Gebreidesjaals who knits heavenly shawls and stoles in ajour knit with lace patterns. 

Below are two links for more info.

  3. Wow Mariette! That is a beautiful sweater. And I love your birthday bracelet too. I much prefer silver or white gold for my jewelry. Me and knitting just didn't get along when my cousin, Gwen, tried to teach me many years ago. Funny that you should remember and ask about her. She did stop blogging some time back and hasn't returned to it. She is fine, but I don't hear from her alot - emails ever so often. Hope you have a fabulous Friday. Blessings, Tammy

  6. Liebe Mariette,
    der Pullover hat ein bildschönes Muster. Das sieht mir allerdings schon ganz schön kompliziert aus. Da muss man sich konzentrieren! So gleichmäßig kann ich nicht stricken. Du hast es toll hingekriegt und er steht dir auch fabelhafte. Und über das Rosenarmband brauchen wir garnicht reden. Fantastisch!
    Liebe Grüße
    Johanna

  9. Mooi patroon en het staat je ook prachtig! Een mooiere locatie kon je niet kiezen, het combineert prachtig met de bloesem.
    Je herkende het patroon al in mijn breirol las ik. Ik heb het niet gebruikt voor een trui, maar wat niet is ...
    Lieve groet,

  15. Dat is toevallig! Mariette!! ik had hem in het wit, exact hetzelfde. Maar het is wel 25 jr. geleden of zo? uit de Ariadne??
    Hij wordt nu weer veel nagebreid. w.s. uit nostalgie en de nieuwe breigolf die weer door Nederland stroomt.

  22. Dear Mariette,
    WOW your sweater is gorgeous. Your work is stunning and I love the color. You look beautiful wearing it too.
    I learned a simply knitting stitch from my grandmother but it is not yarn work I prefer. Grandma could knit anything and did beautiful work. She would love your sweater.

    Have a wonderful weekend my friend.
    Love to you, Celestina Marie

  34. Oh ja, ik heb wat afgebreid in ajour, truien -vesten, vanalles.
    Ik vind het zo mooi, net zoals jou trui Mariette...!!!

    Nu heb ik niet zoveel tijd meer om te breien, maar mijn eigen gebreide truien van vroeger heb ik volgens mij wel bewaard, en liggen op zolder.

  35. Hi Mariette,
    wat een mooie trui zeg! Ik kan alleen recht toe, recht aan breien. De foto's van Curaçao zijn trouwens erg mooi, ben nog nooit geweest maar het ziet er allemaal kleurig uit.
    ik probeerde nog de link widget, maar hij pakt steeds de 3 ipv de 5 plaatjes (misschien omdat het nog in de oude Blogger look is?)
    Geniet vd komende week, groetjes!
    Maureen

    ganz bezaubernd ist diese Ton-in-Ton-Färbung vom Pullover und den tausenden von Pfirsich-Blüten und unglaublich schön ;-))))
