Done at last.



I told myself that I was not to post another entry until I finished the SD sweater I've been knitting for almost a month. So, here it is, all done! ^___^ I didn't do a great job on it. I'm still very much a beginner at knitting, and this project wasn't without its mishaps. Phew....! ^o ^ The rosettes were Kristen's idea. I'm very happy with that pink color on Maya, but I wish I had been more careful with the neckline! I must improve myself. SDs look nice in sweaters.

Oh gosh she looks super cute in it! The roses are a nice touch too, I think you did a great job.

That reminds me, how much was Aya from Doll and Hobby? I bought Aya and Michael together so I don't know the individual prices. I'm hoping Frank will have Sylvie in, because she'd be a lot cheaper through him than with Masamichi!

Thank you ^_^!

When I bought Aya/Maya she cost $680. Considering that both she and Lady Sylvie have a list price of 68,000 yen, Sylvie would probably cost the same. I hope that Frank takes orders for her!

I was thinking along those lines :) I hope Franks takes orders for her too... Thanks much for the info! ^o^

The rosettes are a good idea. I always mess up my collars, I can't seem to be able to pick up stitches nicely, so I'm going to try trims too!

^_____^ Is there some secret to it that I don't know about? I'm okay as long as the yarn has some bulk to it. I had to redo the collar twice on this one, and some of the stitches got stretched out. I have to wonder if it'd be better to knit the collar separately and sew it on? I'm afraid I still don't know much about knitting!

If there is a secret I'd like to know it!
I tried knitting the collar separately and sewing it on, but it didn't look great either.
The best way for me is putting everything on one needle and knitting the collar directly, like this :

That sweater is beautiful! :D

Unfortunately, I only have a spare handful of patterns to work with. I'd better start looking around for more!
