Well, sort of the end. I don't have buttons, yet, and won't be able to get them in the town I live in. So, it'll be at least a week. And I can't keep my enthusiasm in. (I may even wear it tomorrow without the buttons because I'm so excited.)
My second adult sweater is done, and I love it! It fits the way I wanted, it turned out better than I could have wished. So, despite the dark dreary night, we attempted photos.
You'll probably have to suffer another Tangled Yoke photo shoot with natural light after I have buttons.
Oh my gosh, it's gorgeous!! I can't believe that's only your second sweater. Wow!!

ReplyDeleteI am swatching this up right now.
:-)
Wow! It looks great! Fits perfect too - great job!
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful, even without the buttons!
ReplyDeleteThat looks absolutely terrific on you! I was considering casting on for this soon. I have a question for you. I want mine to fit exactly like that. Not to be too personal - but how much ease did you make it with? ;-)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous job!
Yours looks SO much better than mine. The fit looks great. I must have mine too big. Sigh. Maybe I'll pretend yours is mine. :-)
ReplyDeleteYay! It looks so great.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah,
ReplyDeleteThat is one beautifully great sweater and it looks fantastic on you! Way to go.

Hi!
ReplyDeleteI am not sure what happened with your rosebud specifically. I usually go down one or two needle sizes from the needles I use for the hat to knit the garter stitch strip. Then I roll tightly from the cast on edge to the point at the end.
Next, I kind of squish the rose around to shape it a bit and then run the end through the rosebud with a yarn needle to catch all of the layers and keep them from pulling out before whip stitching the rose to the hat.
The only thing I have seen that varies a bit from the pattern is that some of the rosebuds have turned out a bit larger than mine. This still looks fine and is personal preference.
I don't know if that helped, write back if not!
Thanks for writing.

It looks really lovely - nice job! And I am seriously envious of your beautiful house, in that other post. Wow!
