A Christina's Attic First
I finished a knitted sweater for me. Presenting the Debbie bliss Shawl Collar Cardigan in Burgundy.
The pattern is from a Women's Weekly supplement and used 14 balls of Alpaca Silk.
Posted by crsattic at November 10, 2005 05:29 PMCongratulations on finishing a sweater for yourself!!! Even if it took much longer than the children's sweaters, it should be worth it because you don't outgrow everything the way they do. That burgundy color is gorgeous and looks great on you!
