hi!

I just started the minisweater. I'm hoping it will fit well and not look silly on my less-than-ample rack!!
I'm using Lorna's Laces Shepherd Worsted in Black Purl. It's soooo soft and lovely!

It's been close to 90 degrees here the last couple days so I haven't made much headway, but I'm hoping it will be a quick knit once I get going.

It's been slow going, but I've made some progress.... I'm so close to being done with the raglan... it's fun, but mindbogglingly boring at the same time.

I tried it on the other day, and its looking good! I love the way it poofs... I used some nasty green acrylic and its really holding its shape well. I think I'll make another one out of something else soon, or some sort of variation... I'm diggin how easy this pattern is to master.

Wooo!

Here's my version


My not-so-MiniSweater

I used 2 1/4 balls of Cottonease in Sugarplum and size 9 Denice Interchangeable needles. I also changed the border to moss stitch and added a few inches of lace below the button band. I really love how it came out! I'll be wearing this sucker all summer long. I finished a black one a few weeks ago, you can see it here. Thanks for letting me share! I've enjoyed seeing everyone's version of this great pattern.

MammouthSweater

After a cyber kick in the pants from someone on the Knitty Board, I decided to move backwards with the Mini Sweater -- in the name of moving forward. Ripping projects has been a theme of late in LumayLand, so this should not have required a moment's thought.
This, however, requires several long moments of thought:

It definately fits better than before...

BUT...

I think it does nothing whatsoever to flatter my figure. I am going to set this aside for the summer. I will come back to it in September, when the weather and my weight are more condusive to the woolie mammouth.
Ladies, consider my MiniSweater complete.
