Rosa

Another set of mobile photos from the office showing my recent FO: Rosa by Kim Hargreaves (pattern in Thrown Together). Link to my Ravelry page here. I had to include three photos - all of dubious quality - to show you what I wanted:

This one shows the sweater nicely... 

This one shows the colour accurately...

And this one shows the ingenious bottom edge construction...!

I like that this is a quite fashionable knit - it almost looks like something I bought, but I couldn't find something just as nice :) The frills are so great :D

Yeah, I'm really pleased with this one.

Info:

Pattern: Rosa by Kim Hargreaves

Yarn: Blue Sky Alpacas Alpaca Silk, colourway Guava + some old red mohair for the frills.

Size: self-constructed xxs to match the thicker yarn

Mods: I made puff sleeves; I attached the frills while binding off rather than binding off and sewing them on afterwards; the smaller size gave me a need for 6 buttons only.

If I were to knit it again, I would move the buttonholes 1 stitch farther away from the edge rather than having them in the middle (as the buttons won't be in the middle when buttoned, then). And maybe I'd make the button band narrower. But that's just details...
