Nutella is one of my favorite food products. I tend to consume it straight from the jar on a spoon. It's a heavenly hazelnut pick-me-up. And now I've found a recipe for Nutella Cookies, courtesy of Pinterest.

Cranberry & Cream Striped Raglan
The yarn I used for this sweater, Nature Spun by Brown Sheep, has been in my stash for several years now. And by "several" years I mean that I bought it to make a different sweater that I started knitting during a weekend of house-sitting the winter after I graduated college . . . in 2003. I guess it just needed to be aged, like any good wine or cheese.
The first incarnation of the sweater was also striped, but, like the first incarnation of most of the sweaters I make for myself it did not survive. The yarn was packed up and stored for several years, traveled to the island where it sat for several more years, and nearly became a different sweater, until I finally came up with an idea a couple of years ago.
I knew I wanted a fitted, striped sweater with a side-split collar, and I knew that I wanted to make a top-down (or bottom-up) raglan. This style would require the least amount of finishing and seaming, which I abhor. So I drew something up.
