beautiful new sweater!
I know, it's very hard to see it in all it's wondrous glory, but hopefully you can get a good idea. Some of you might remember that over a year ago I won the yarn to make a sweater and it's been languishing in my to-do box ever since waiting for me to muster courage to even begin a project I knew would take at least a couple of years for me to knit. Enter my friend Ginette, who is a knitter extraordinaire, who offered to knit it for me, and then did so in mind-numbingly record time!! I simply can't believe how fast she knits and how she is undaunted by the difficulty of any pattern (AND changes it to fit better too!!). She is utterly amazing!! THANK YOU GINETTE - you are one in a million, my friend!
The pattern is the 'Lacy Vee Cardigan #405', by Cabin Fever and the yarn is 'Linarte' by Lana Grossa.
Its a beautiful sweater!
ReplyDeleteSince she likes to knit, I'm sure it was a labor of LOVE! Bet you will think of her whenever you wear it.
Happy New Year
Now there's a keeper friend. Gorgeous sweater.

ReplyDeleteYou look lovely in your new knitted sweater. that color looks great on you.
ReplyDeleteWoW MA that is beautiful.
ReplyDeletelove that basket type pattern. I have just done a baby sweater in a basket weave, it had a set in shawl collar,set the collar in wrong, but! I had done such a stupendous job on the mattress stitch that I could barely make out my stitches. When I came to unpick I cut the shoulder seam.. disaster...flung it in the garbage. Next day I retrieved it, but still cannot face having to deal with it
ReplyDeleteyes a lucky lady indeed!! Now where's that knitting I need doing?? friends address please???
ReplyDeleteLucky you!
ReplyDeleteGeeezzzz...if I knew a beautiful sweater would be waiting for me after grocery shopping, I would pick up everyone's list in the neighborhood. What a great friend! happy New year to you. I have enjoyed keeping up with your blog. Susan
