At Last!

At last, I'm done with this yarn, this project, this sweater! This is the Estelle Cardigan (without waist shaping) that I made for my mom after the terrible flop of the Elizabeth cardigan. Funny but i just realized that both sweaters are names she's familiar with - while my name is Estella not Estelle, my sister's name is Elizabeth. Huh, kind of funny.

I'm so much happier with this and can't wait to send it to her. I'll be sure to post a photo of her wearing it. I wove in all the ends during the Houston/Baltimore game which was a good call as the Giants game (GO GIANTS!) was so exciting I could barely knit let alone weave in ends!

Estella, it is beautiful. Hopefully it erased the pain of the first sweater. I've always loved this pattern and now I'm even more in love with it. Great job!
