Tivoli was finished a month ago. When I washed her, I soaked her in the sink and hung her sopping wet across the clothesline for days and days and days…(I know, if I could have just used the washer and spun her gently everything might have gone differently). I was afraid she’d mildew, or at the least, sour. Finally, I brought her in and hung her inside for days and days. Eventually, she dried. Then the temperatures dropped. Then they rose. So did the humidity. Today, I got her out and took her to town. She’s comfortable, was fun to make, and shouldn’t be the only one of her kind in my closet. Here’s Tivoli..
She’s my kind of gal. Thanks Grumperina!
Cotton / rayon yarn I got on a cone. By the looks of it, I used a little over 600 yds.
knitted on #9 circs
with endless Icord edging on the neck and an Icord bind off at the bottom edge using a #7circ. (that’s what I had handy)

Your Tivoli is beautiful!
And I think you just won some kind of prize for best background scenery. Wow.
Looks really good! I like the pit coverage. There may be a Tivoli in my future.
And yes, best background scenery award, hands down.
Judy, you look MAHVELOUS, Dahling. Did the mosquitoes eat you alive while getting that photo?
Wow, I love the sweater. I made a copy of the pattern from your link, now I’m more motivated to start one!! Perhaps I will have to raid my mom’s stash for some cone yarn!
It looks lovely! I need to find the yarn to make one. It looks like something I’d love to wear all the time.
Your Tivoli looks wonderful! What an excellent picture. 🙂
She’s beautiful! I need to make one for next summer.
Wow!! Lovely. Glad it finally cooled off (dried out etc) so you could wear it. Tell your photographer “good job”
It’s wonderful!!!! Good incentive to take off a few pounds next summer. (Must lose those bat wings to wear sleeveless sweaters)
GREAT background…..you live in such a beautiful spot!
Looks fantastic, and fits wonderfully! I’m glad you enjoyed the pattern 🙂
Tivoli looks super on you!!! What’s this? Marisa raiding my stash :).
Fantastique!
I think you also won some kind of prize for best foreground scenery–wow, you look wonderful in the Tivoli!
Lovely knit, Judy. Lucky it warmed up again, eh?
Looks Great!
You look wonderful in that. I like the colour too..
