I did it! I finished my sweater!
Previously blogged about: at the start and midway through.
I based the sweater off of the $5 in Paris Sweater by Anna Peck, but made a number of modifications (check out the Ravelry page for the full details). For the most part, I’m really happy with it. I adore the color combination, the random stripes and the asymmetrical button-band. I sorta with the neck wasn’t so boat-neck-y… but I’m just working on pretending I’m super-trendy when I wear it!
I made the buttons from polymer clay… that’s going to be a future Craft School Saturday post!
Thanks for stopping by and reading!

I hope you have an awesome and craft-filled weekend! Be sure to check back tomorrow to see what exciting new craft I’ll get into on Craft School Saturday!
Ooh! Pretty sweater! I think the boatneck is very flattering, you wear it well. It’s definitely a sweater to be proud of! :)
It looks great. Those colours work really well on you. I like the neckline, but I know if you aren’t used to the shape of the neckline it drives you crazy until you get used to it.
Love it! It looks so fun.
I love the color combo, it looks good on you! Looking forward to reading the polymer clay post. :)
Totally cute… and I love a boatneck, but maybe that’s just me. Can’t wait to hear about the buttons :-)
Oh, just beautiful. Gives me something to dream about doing for my grand daughter, or me maybe.
I love the colors. The buttons are great, too.
Your sweater is really nice and cozy looking, beautiful color’s, perfect for the season’s to come or a rainy-stormy day and also great for grocery shopping.
It’s so cute on you! And I LOVE the buttons.
btw, you are totally rocking that trendy boat-neck!
Nice work! Love the colours and that is awesome that you made your own buttons!
WOWOWOW that is an amazing sweater!
Thank you so much, everyone, for all of the fabulous compliments!
Your sweater turned out beautiful! I’m looking forward to the button Craft School Saturday.
Awesomesauce. That looks fantastic on you and the colors, stripes and boatnecky-ness are all fab. Looking forward to button lessons!
Very nice, I too like the color combination, just wish I could knit! : )
LOVE! The color, the boatneck, the stripes, the buttons; it’s all gorgeous. Congratulations on such a beautiful project.
It’s gorgeous & it looks amazing on you !
Thisnis gorgeous. Those colors look wonderful on you. I am like you about the neck, I would want it less boat-y too, but it looks super on you. Now about those buttons, after reading they were made from polymer clay, I wish you had taken a close up of the buttons. We’re you just being a tease?
Of course I do! :) It’s really cute on you- nice job!
Stacey this is so lovely! It looks fantastic on you too!
