Finally I finished a knitted sweater for Marie, the one of my twin daughters who spends one year volunteering in a college (St. Kevin's in Oamaru) in New Zealand. She wanted it so much - maybe something personal by Mama?
So I added a label designed by our Dear TheMadWoman of Locke Street granted by her in a set free of charge sometime ago. It stitched out perfect! Thank you so much for being so generous! Along with this Marie wanted some FSL feathers which I bought from Urban Threads - stitched also perfect. It's from the Even Lace Set - I attach some pictures - Also Monique the other twin presented her sister with a bracelet (self done by her and she learnt it during her stay in CampHirock Massachusetts where she worked this summer. Now our parcel is on the way to New Zealand and I hope it will arrive soon and safe...a nice weekend to all Cuties

Nice sweater, I bet not so easy to sew with all those pattern involved. I love the real type of sweaters, not those with "artifical theard" that you see everywhere in the shops. You daughter will love it !
148927Good job. I bet this sweater was fun to knit and not boring. I am sure your daughter will love it. I haven't done much knitting lately, but looking at this makes me want to start again.

Yes it was real fun to knit it and really not boring. Now I'll have to start another sweater for the twin sister :-) I think knitting is some kind of addiction too but it's easier to do if you are traveling than embroidering and sewing :-)

89895Thank you so much for your kind comments! Yes, the pattern is really nice and I loved knitting it - it is not so boring. Do you know I stored the wool for more than 20 years in a box along with other boxes of wool and I am happy I now could use it. Tomorrow we will leave for a holiday in
Tuscany - my eldest daughter, married to an Italian born. two of the
grandsons, my DH and me and I am going to start a slightly different
knitting project for Monique the other twin; she wants it in grey -
ah, that's life, Mama dressed in rags but the girls get the nices dresses :-) but I think, many of you are alike :-) Wishing a nice weekend with a bit more sunshine (for us here in Europe) Maria
