I have to say I'm pretty happy with what I came up with & i think it makes the sweater have a little something extra special.
Thanks to everyone who wrote about my problems with the sweater. I think the Yarngineer is right & when I took the back piece off the needle & measured it the size is right though the gauge is still slightly off. I'm perhaps stressing over this sweater too much because I want it to be nice enough that I actually want to wear it.
I planned on spending some time on my blogs this weekend updating the long overdue blog links...I read so many & should really list them...especially all of the great bloggers in Blog by Knitters but the weather has been so nice I've been unmotivated...maybe later this week.
I love the embroidery! That sweater is too cute!
ReplyDeleteOh, that is a really cute sweater, very modern, yet classic. And it's a bit sophisticated, a welcome change from too cutesy baby things. I looked at the photos before I read the text of your post, and my first thought when I saw the embroidery was to wonder if those were cherry blossoms or some other Japanese flower, so you really captured that well.
ReplyDeleteVery cute!!! Very Japanese. I love it!
ReplyDeleteGood job! The embroidery is really sweet and looks perfect on the sweater.

Oh, it's WONDERFUL! You're definitely making me want to start embroidering my handknits.
ReplyDeleteI know it looks really simple, but us there a formula you used for it?
