April accomplishment
I finished one thing in April (April 30, but still April!):
Here's a detail shot:
This was made from hand-dyed, handspun silk and merino (one ply each) and a pattern from Winter 04 Interweave Knits. For my first niece!
Happy to have this done while it still fits; now back to my daughter's 1-yr-bday sweater, only mmmmmm weeks late (hey, she's one, what will she care?).

Posted by: sam on May 4, 2005 06:11 PMWow - I hope I can get as good at sweater making as you! I'm working on my first one right now, and it's just plain old stockinette... I can't wait to add the felted mohair embellishments though. Your sweaters are gorgeous!
