About two years ago I told my two of my oldest girlfriends (oldest meaning I have known them for a long time - not that they are old) that I would knit them sweaters. This is Shirl's. She hasn't seen it. She didn't pick out the pattern. She told me the colour she would like but she didn't approve the wool - which is Bendigo. It's a big gamble because it won't fit me (way to small) if she doesn't like it.
But I like it. A lot. And it was a fun knit. I did dedicate a whole Sunday to knitting the tangled yoke. And it took the whole Sunday - I'm not a fast knitter.
I will try to get a photo of it on her as soon as I block it and give it to her. Cross your fingers and bite your toes she likes it!!
Oh, and by the way, have you seen the new stamped envelopes at the post office? Aren't they great.

Ah, it's so beautiful, hope she does like it. The buttons are perfect.
The cardigan is just beautiful, I love that soft grey, too. I'm sure she'll treasure it!
I'll have to check out the envelopes now!
