February Lady Sweater

Page,

Here's an update on the February Lady Sweater...

As you can see, some progress is being made. I soon will need the length measurements but perhaps not too soon.
This shows a truer picture of the color...

Here is a better view of the lace pattern across the back but the color is very washed out....

I still haven't made up my mind whether or not this will travel with me to Iceland. It is a large piece of knitting to take but I am having so much fun doing it. Decisions, decisions, decisions!!!

Dear Page,

I have started your February Lady Sweater in the Elann superwash bamboo yarn in chocolate truffle. It is a lovely soft yarn to work with and I think it will make a wonderful cardigan. Here's the progress so far...

Checking on Ravelry, I found that I liked the look of the sweaters that used a yo for the yoke increases so I substituted that for the m1 instructions in the pattern. Besides, I didn't really like the way the second of the pair was working.

I used the one row buttonhole instructions from Montse Stanley's book, Knitter's Handbook. I think it turned out rather well.

This may be the project I take with me to Iceland in a couple of weeks. I will post progress pictures as I can.

Love,
Mom
