Here it is in completion! Beth's February Lady Sweater. Anyone who loves sweaters should knit this one! Anyone who has never knit a sweater, but wants to give it a shot, should knit this one. Anyone who says, "I wish I could knit sweaters", should knit this one! It's lovely. The pattern is written nicely. The lace pattern is not difficult. It's simply wonderful.
Here is what is on my needles now, Something Beautiful Shrug, for one of my girls. I'm knitting it with Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece, must say I'm not loving the yarn. It doesn't give, it's very slippery. Oh well, hopefully it will be a short project.
Our party is growing little by little. What really makes me happy is when I click to leave comments on someone's project and see that someone else from here already has. Spreading the love....spreading the love! So, please grab my button on the sidebar and keep spreading that love!And I'd like to spread a little love for my friend Stephanie, who's sponsoring a give away over at Make It and Love It. Stephanie is a consultant for Thirty One Gifts, plus she's my berry berry good friend. Go see what she's all about and enter to win something!
Your sweater looks great! I love the color to. Hopefully the shrug will knit up quickly. The pattern is really cute.
ReplyDeleteIts been a really busy week for me. I made 2 other crochet items that are not pictured because they are for a Christmas swap. I went to a baby shower on Sunday, so I made a bunny for it. My son already had the same bunny in different colors, but he wanted a 2nd one after seeing the baby shower one. I finally finished knitting those scubbies, and now I have 2 more on the needles. I'm working on another plastic bottle crochet drawstring bag. Pretty soon though I need to let me sewing take over.
Thank you for hosting this wonderful link party.
Great sweater!! Congrats on finishing it!
ReplyDeleteI will join soon, maybe next week? Until then, I am inspired by you! (LOVE the shrug color!)

Your sweater is absolutely beautiful-enjoy:@)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the invite- what a great party!
ReplyDeleteThe sweater looks lovely! I'm determined to move beyond hats this winter. Just a little intimidated by sweaters, but I'm going to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteWow - it looks great! I made one a few months ago (http://path-less-traveled-market.blogspot.com/2010/05/project-for-mama-february-lady-sweater.html) but I like yours better. <3
ReplyDeleteGlad I found you on The Girl Creative. I've been looking for a fiber party to join. I've got several projects in the works, so I'll join soon.
ReplyDeleteLove the color of your sweater, but then green is my favorite color. You'll really enjoy it once the weather gets cold enough for it. At least where I live, it's not quite time for sweaters yet.
Thanks for inviting me to link to this post Beth! I'm glad that I've heard about it now!! Your sweater is very nice, I can't wait to be skilled enough to knit a sweater like that!!!
ReplyDeleteHope you can drop by my blog again sometime!
Ellie :o)
Your sweater turned out great! It's been on my list for so long, I guess I'll have to get to it soon.
ReplyDeleteOoo, love that sweater. Only made a couple, never tried lace....but I look forward to it.
ReplyDeleteJust found out about your Fibers On Friday from your comment on another blog! I'm planning on joining in next week :) & I am a new follower of yours as well.
ReplyDeleteI made a FLS, too - it's definitely my favorite sweater. i want to make another one, using a different lace pattern.
Doesn't it feel great to be done with the February Sweater? That gull stitch drove me insane! Yours has turned out beautifully--I switched up the fiber for merino, and that wasn't a very good choice. Just in time for Fall! Very nice!
ReplyDeleteOh beth! It's perfect! I attempted to start that sweater last year, and go bored after a couple rows! I may need to try again!
