Cotton so Soft

The sweater is a great finish for the week! 
 I only added a few inches to the sleeves and a few inches in short rows 
to bring the back neck up a bit-a pet peeve for top down sweaters.
Oh, and I did add a purl stitch at each side  to imitate a 'seam' stitch line.
It fits wonderfully and I will most likely gift it since the color grey doesn't look nice on me! 
 I've had the pleasure of knitting it so I will be okay with letting it go!                             

A color besides pink for my flower of the day!

  It was fun to make the yellows blend for the rose.T

 Since I've finished the shawl and now the sweater, I needed something new on the needles!
This is one of the three skeins of LionBrand WoolEase Handpaint yarns I bought a bit ago-
more on that later but for now-it is a typical hat on #7 needles.
  I almost made a pair of mittens instead
 but I can always do that with the next skein! 
 I'm a knitter and I can do that, you know! lol

  1. That tee is perfection!!!
    I love your dedication to your sketching. I need to get down to the art room. I am starting to feel guilty about the wasted space. So many supplies...so little time.

  4. Great sweater - I think I have a similar pattern tucked away somewhere. The tee design is classic and will be comfy to wear and to dress up or down with accessories.
