[knovice knitter]

I have this great sweater book by Bergere de France. My niece, Dana, and I were looking through it and she really liked this poncho style shruggesque sweater. So I proceeded to knit it for her. Somethings were a little lost in the translation, but on the whole not bad. Anyway, I struggled being kinda in the novice category for the time being. It turned out pretty well. I brought it over to her last night and she was thrilled. I had her toss it on real quick for a picture but she didn't have time to put something nice on underneath as I had to go babysit and I was already late. The picture without her in it looks like the sleeves are a different color, but that is not the case. I used Ice yarn in Master Alpaca. I enjoyed the challenge as always

That's darling - you did a great job on it! Pretty model too (even if she didn't have time to change).

This is very nicely done. Lovely, feminine pattern. Secret be told, I would wear it with jeans and a tee shirt without hesitation.

Very nice work, I love the style of this one.

Good job! I have that same book and made the cabled alpaca sweater in it. I thought it was just me being a new knitter that made the pattern hard to understand!

 

[MrsO]

Very nice! I think yours looks better than the one in the book.
