Golden Moon Sweater
Golden Moon is my most exciting colorwork sweater to date. You need three colors all the way from top to bottom, but no need to worry: only two colors are used at the same time. With colorwork, bobbles and simple shaping, this sweater will keep you happily knitting for many hours.
