A Finished Sweater

Finally. I finished this sweater.
The pattern is Remember  by Norah Gaughan. It's a free download from Berroco. The fiber I used is Briar Rose Fibers Pilgrim. I love the way this pattern knitted up. The bodice pattern was fun and easy to do, creating a smocked look.

This has been a work in progress for almost two years. It's been one of those projects that I have picked up off and on, in between smaller projects, and I was beginning to think I might not get it done. But, as of today, I blocked this cardi and sewed on the buttons, just in time for the next cold snap. I really do think there's nothing like a warm wool sweater during frigid months of winter.

Now that this sweater is completed, let the Christmas knitting begin!
