This pullover is named after my youngest daughter, Viveka. The yarn is called Suss Love. And so I guess you could say Suss love Viveka not great English but oh so true. She is love and so is this yarn.
It is like a second skin. It feels like cashmere but it is a tactel yarn. Its also a vegan yarn. I cant wait to develop more patterns for this yarn.
The colors are jewel tones, deep and rich. This particular design is one of my favorites as a knitwear designer. It has a deep V and flared sleeves that give this pullover a classic Victorian feel.
Wear a camisole under it or even a ruffled long sleeve blouse and then Go have a night with your knight!
