Things have been quiet around here… this photo shows why! I am expecting a baby in just over seven weeks. I finished this February Lady Sweater just before Christmas. I need to get new buttons for it – the buttons I had just are not large enough. The yarn is the Berroco Ultra Alpaca, and the project used nearly 4 full skeins. I think it’s a bit long, but it’s comfortable, cozy and warm, which is what I wanted. I hope to use it after the baby of course, and it seemed a good alternative to the unattractive maternity sweaters I saw in the stores. I skipped the eyelet increases, and looking at it on me, I wish I had started the lace pattern on the sleeves earlier, even though it would have been annoying to figure out and it would have ruined the symmetry of starting the lace body at the same point.
