February Sweater is coming along
Tweet I’ve finished with the yoke of the sweater and now I’m moving onto the body of the sweater. It’s an easy lace pattern and I’ve already messed it up a bit. But it shouldn’t be that noticeable. If I screwed it up correctly, all the mistakes will be underneath the arm. If all goes [...]
