yippee - it's done! i really really LOVE this sweater. i may post a few more close-up pictures of the details, which came out wonderfully, if i do say so myself. i'm really proud of this one. i can't wait to wear it this fall. if it weren't 95 degrees outside, or if we had AC in the house, i'd probably be wearing it already. of course, now my fingers are itching to start another sweater - maybe one for adella this time... and your daily dose of adella cuteness:
