I can't believe that's it's been so long since I composed a blog entry, and this will be a short one too. It's been long enough that the sweater that I began March 4, is already finished and ready to have it's photo posted.
It was another wonderful design with the pattern and yarn purchased from Virtual Yarns. I knit this for a friend who was in the process of moving back to Canada; hoping to finish it before she left. At least she got to try it on though, so I know it's a perfect fit. I missed her departure date by about a week, and then took an additional week to sew on the buttons. Had to wait for a sunny day to get a photo in good light, but now it's all finished and the picture turned out well.
Here's a close up of the details. I think the detail looks a little like a lotus, although reading the description of the design on Virtual Yarns, that is not what was intended.
Sweet! It looks beautiful. It dies look a bit like a lotus!

Beautiful sweater, Carolyn. Lucky friend! She must be one who appreciates hand knits.
