My Lace Sweater!!!!!





Hand knitted 100% wool lace sweater from Lion Brand Yarn Fisherman's wool. Pattern from the book Knitted Jackets, by Cheryl Oberle. I modified the pattern by making a bolero style lace jacket a coat length lace jacket instead. It used about 2.5 skeins of wool (they are big skeins).

Oh! That is gorgeous! I love it! Well done! I've not ventured into making clothing since my skills are so rudimentary but would love to learn to do something like this.
