finished Cavern

I finally got off my butt and took some FO pics of Cavern!

Cavern
Pattern: my own
Yarn: Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece, bought from ebay as mis-dyed (dark brown/purple rather than black), 4 skeins
Needles: Denise US7
Started: August 24, 2005
Finished: September 24, 2005

I really wanted to use buttons for this, but once I got them on, it just looked weird. The raglan shaping is just right; I’ll have to use this as a template sweater!

    Lovely! It looks great–the pattern, the colour, the yarn…everything! Good move on the button elimination, a wise decision.

    Great sweater! That is really cute. I hope you consider publishing the pattern as I would really like one of these myself :-)

    Cuuuuuuute! It looks like a sort of ballet sweater without the wraparound. Ooh, I like it a lot.

    Very, very cute! The tie front is a perfect alternative to buttons – I like it!

    I love it! I know how you feel about the buttons. I originally wanted buttons on my Clementine sweater, but had to jettison them. Sometimes a knit just speaks to you and says “I do not want buttons!”

    That looks great on you! It’s going to be an awesome winter knit, wearable with just about everything. I would wear it with jeans and a tank underneath, or dress it up with grey pants and boots. I love knits that just fit in the wardrobe perfectly, you know?

    LOVE the top – it’s gorgeous and I think it buttons wouldn’t have added anything to it – great as is!
