A lovely sense of accomplishment

I just finished this pullover, and just in time, too! It’s knit in baby alpaca, making it far too warm to wear in California, so it will stay in the closet until I return. Oh well, at least it will be something to look forward to.

I’m really pleased with it. It may not be the most polished piece of work, but I added the waist shaping, re-designed the torso, and raised the neckline all by my little self, meaning it’s really modified to suit my figure. The snake-stitch pattern on the torso ended up pretty clean, as did the yarn-over holes along the shoulders and sleeves… I spent a lot of time working on this and a lot of time taking it apart to re-do what I didn’t like, but now it’s finished and I’ll be proud to wear it!

    Gorgeous. If I don’t get to see it in person before you leave, I expect to see it when you return!
