Niece's birthday is this Thursday. Her sweater will not be done in time. (Even if I did manage to finish it, I then have to mail it, so...)
But progress has been made.
After consulting the example photo:
(I have to keep reminding myself that my version is not going to look like this as I'm doing a lot of guessing. But it's frustrating all the same.)
I figure now is the time to square the circle. And hopefully she'll get me her measurements soon, as I think it's about as wide as it'll need to be. I've made progress, anyway.
And until I have measurements, I can catch the back up to the front.

I love giving homemade gifts but in the long run, getting them done in time and then having to mail them.....nuts.
ReplyDeleteI'm not too worried about on time, though. (I've had a cold for three weeks, so everything slid away anyway.) When she picks, she knows what she's getting, so whenever it shows up, it shows up.
DeleteIt’s going to be a great sweater
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed.
DeleteShe'll still love it whenever she gets it.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed.
DeleteIt's going to look terrific! Quite a different style than the last you made her.
ReplyDeleteYeah, she's at an age where her tastes are changing.
DeleteIt's going to be great and I hope she loves it, but nonetheless, I love that photo of what it will probably like like once done.
ReplyDeleteIt's not going to quite be that. I tried, but I can't quite make it look like that. (This is why I was looking for a pattern.)
DeleteWith the eyes on that background, it looks like someone with a black eye!
ReplyDeletethecontrmplativecat here. Wow. taht is amazing. She will love it. My gr-daughters (18,20) would be thrilled.
ReplyDeleteI did not realize the eye motif was a thing now. But then again, I'm not paying attention.
DeleteEye think it will be a hit!
ReplyDeleteEye hope so :)
DeleteAll the best with it.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteWhat a fun pattern.
ReplyDeleteI bet your niece will love her present when you mail it to her.
ReplyDeleteHi Liz - good eye opener ... that's for sure. You're clever with your designs etc ... Alana has said it right! Cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteIt's probably too hot to wear it right now, anyway, even if it was ready on time. It looks like you're making good progress, though.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteDang, it looks great! You're very talented, lucky niece.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteI agree with TZ. :D
DeleteThis is looking cool. I know you will create something enjoyable and winning
ReplyDeleteThe front (or back?) is growing nicely. I love the wide sleeves on the model too.
