Ta Dah!

So the baby sweater is finished! If only I had that camera!!!!!!! You’d be looking at a picture of it right now . . . ah well.

Actually, I think it turned out pretty well if I do say so myself. Its pink, with a turned picot edging on the botton and the button band, with ribbed cuffs on the sleeves and around the neck. I did the button band and neck all at once, using short-rows to add depth to the button band without making the neck too wide . . . . and finished it off with three very pretty antique buttons from my collection.

Now its all wrapped up, complete with a lavendar sachet, a note card (hand-stamped) with care instructions and a big fake hydrangea instead of a bow on the top of the box. Afterall, if I’m going to put all those hours into making the gift, why not put a little thought and effort into the presentation, right?

Shower is a 3:00 today . . . .perhaps the woman throwing it will have a camera? If she does I’ll see if I can get her to send me a picture of the sweater so I can post it here!

Fingers crossed!
