February Ladies Sweater

A few weeks ago…..well, maybe months……heck, I can’t remember, my Wednesday night SnB group decided to do a sweater.  I had pretty much convinced myself that I would not knit garments that I would actually wear out in public, but when I looked at the pattern I couldn’t pass it up.  So, I bought some O-Wool at Keely’s Birthday Sale and got started.  (By the way, I LOVE the O-Wool).  I am hooked.  I love knitting it and it is actually looking fairly wearable.  The dove lace pattern is a little messed up in parts, but it still looks pretty good.  I am finishing up the edging today and I will do the sleeves next week.

This sweater holds a lot of memories other than being my first.  It saw me through the Olympics……there is a huge chunk dedicated to Michael Phelps.  It was with me through the DNC, Hurricane Gustav, the nomination of Sarah Palin and a few football games.  Now, I am ready to start the Central Park Hoodie.  That will be on the needles soon

    I love this sweater design so much. How one sweater pattern can look so great on baby and grown up alike boggles my mind. I love the color you picked for it too.
