Here is the Diva's sweater from my new friend to knit with, Leslie! The pattern is called Libby and Leslie designed and knit it for a special little girl. When I saw the pattern almost a year ago, I thought of my special little girl, too and knew it would be perfect. I used Ultra Alpaca from Berroco yarns. The yarn is pilling but I'm strangely okay with that because the Diva is wearing the heck out of this sweater! I mentioned before that this is a FAB sweater pattern! Very easy-to-read-and-understand directions. This is a good pattern whether you are a beginner or a more advanced knitter. I am in love with the swing coat look. I love the decreases. I love the simple beauty of the garter rib.
This is my year of the finished project and I'm soooooo happy that this is the first finished sweater of 2010!!!
Very very happy happy!
Love,
Wendy
