Sally makes her debut
Sally pullover, started 28 Feb 05 finished 22 Apr 05
Pattern: My own, available here
This is a great feeling. I always get such a sense of accomplishment at a project, finished, and this one carries with it the added satisfaction that it was all my own work. This is my first garment that has been ‘all my own work’ and I’m thrilled with how it turned out. OK so I knit most of the body of it twice, and nearly came a cropper with the ruffles, but now I’ve got to the end to find all that work was entirely worthwhile.
So without further ado, I give you Sally!
Sally is knit in Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino, in peach and white stripes with cream ruffles at the waist and arms.
Chain stitch at the sleeve reinforces the ruffle and prevents the sleeve ‘splaying’. A bias trim at the neck turns into an i-cord fastening at the left shoulder.
Here she is on:
Ooh look at her go:

LOVE. IT. Love it! You did such a great job–you should be very, very smug about your talents. I especially like the i-cord at the neck & its little bow–a little detail that other people might not have added but that totally makes the design. So chic!

What a wonderful job you’ve done with Sally — it looks beautiful! My favorite part is all the neat details, I especially like how you finished the neckline. The next question — of course — will you be writing a pattern?
