This is such a beautiful pattern - I love the simplicity and the sweetness of it. It was the perfect thing for this yarn of mine - I’m very pleased! Thank you for letting me test Melanie!

9/11 Finished. Color in the outdoor photos is a bit washed out due to the early morning light - indoor pictures more accurate for color.
9/10 Blocking!
9/6 Nearly done with the first sleeve - hope to be finished in less than a week.
8/30 Getting closer and closer to the waistband - the finish is in sight! With this yarn my stitches are so uneven - fingers crossed that it will come out smoother in the soak and block (it did - much!).
8/1 I have now divided out the sleeves and am about an inch & a half down the body. Love this pattern!
7/28 Through the first reapeat of the charts - 1/2 repeat more before dividing for the sleeves.
7/27 Through the first half of the lace charts, hope to get a little more done this evening - loving it already!
7/26 Can’t wait to start this new test knit for Melanie - such a pretty sweater pattern!

I adore the color of this yarn - it reminds me of aquamarines and sea glass. I bought it because it was love at first sight but have had a hard time finding a pattern for it that made me happy - I do believe this is the one! This yarn is interesting, far softer and fuzzier than I would have expected. It feels like it has cashmere in the mix and looks as if it contained angora - but it’s 100% bfl wool. I think the finished project will be really nice with it.
