Spring Lady

Pattern: February Lady by Pamela Wynne
Dates: March 4, 2010 to March 24, 2010
Verdict: LOVE. Definitely popular for a reason.

I am so glad I took the time to frog my February Lady and start over. It fits perfectly now.

I absolutely adore this yarn, Seacolors by Nanney Kennedy. I’m glad I chose a simple pattern that really lets the yarn sing.

I also think the purple buttons worked out well, and if anything bring out the lavender tone of the yarn.

I’m pretty darned pleased with myself.

  1. I LOVE IT!!!

    Even if I cried a little when you frogged it completely. It hurt my soul a little. But that’s ok, because now it’s perfect.

  2. I love it! You did such a great job. I’ve been wanting to knit it since I read your post about the frogging….and now I, even more so :)

  3. You look so happy – and your February Lady cardi looks great!

  4. It always pays off to frog and reknit things that aren’t working. Your sweater turned out great!

  5. Awesome! it came out beautifully! I love the muted color.

  6. OMG, this looks almost identical to the one I made (your rear shot made me do a double take, it looks just like my back shot, LOL! It looks wonderful!

  10. That looks great! The color is really nice.

  11. You should be pleased! What a great fitting sweater!

  12. You must be proud, and it was a very good idea to re-knit it. It looks wonderful now!

  13. LOVE. IT.

    Need I really say more? :D

  14. Nice work! What a beautiful match up of yarn, pattern & fit.

  15. Wow, the back looks *fantastic*! Makes your torso look sooo long. I want one!

  16. It’s lovely! I go back and forth about knitting this for myself. I’m afriad the style won’t be very flattering on me, but you’re right: it is popular for a reason. Great job!

  17. Congratulations! This is one of the best fitting/most flattering Feb. Lady sweaters I’ve seen!

  18. It’s beautiful! And looks great on you.. the fit is perfect. :)

    LOVE IT!

  19. Fabulous! Perfect fit. Just absolutely perfect!

  20. Beautiful! The fit is perfect this time around, and the yarn really pops. Love it.

  21. Marvelous. I hadn’t really thought much about this sweater, but your pictures and poses make me realize how perfect it really is for spring. Those 3/4 length sleeves and lace are really the perfect thing for in-between weather. You’re an inspiration. Wear it well.

  22. Sweater looks great! I really must get mine finished. I started mine last year at this time and then it got set aside. I should go pull it out. It is so close to being finished….
