Autumn has arrived in Melbourne, and it has been a wee bit chillier. It's not quite cool enough for my winter coat (which is too small anyway), but thick, cozy sweaters are needed. Over the last week, I keep finding myself going through my sweater basket and coming away disappointed. On Friday, I wore my trusty University of Washington hoodie (purchased in 2000...) over a cardigan. A sweater over a sweater. My current cardigans and sweaters just don't cut the mustard for warmth! Several of them are 3/4 length sleeves, as well. Useless!
So I went digging in my knitting pile and pulled out a chunky sweater I started February 2014. I haven't worked on it in months, and was surprised to find that it was only a couple of inches of one sleeve from being finished! C'mon Karen, get 'er done!
So I should have a new chunky sweater to wear soon. But here are some other patterns I have my eye on.

And while I'm at it, how about some of these:
Aisling, by Justyna Lorkowska
Drachenfels, by Melanie Berg (pictured is michamade's version)
Adventurer's Cowl, by Katherine Leek
Maybe if I wear them ALL together, THEN I'll be warm!!
