In an effort to focus all of my creative energy on one project, I cast on for the February Lady Sweater last Saturday. If all goes well and I can find the time, I should be able to finish this sweater during the month of November for NaKniSweMo. I'm using Mission Falls 1824 superwash wool and this yarn is so soft, squishy and warm.
I just started on the lace pattern on Wednesday, but haven't touched the sweater since then because I was out of town attending a trade show. It's been a fairly easy knit so far and I've learned how to knit button holes, too. If this sweater works out, I'd love to try it in a baby version.
rebekah this is so pretty! i cant wait to see the end results!

I love the color you chose. I plan on making the Lady Feb Sweater and the Baby Feb Sweater with the same yarn and color so Melody and I will match. Cheesy, huh?

Oh I cant wait to see this all finished. I just love this pattern and wish I was a knitter so that I could make it too. After I do my ripple blanket, I am going to try a little knitting. Your sweater is looking really great so far. :~)
