Gram's Sweater is done. YAY! Now we can get on to some boy things after working with the Knit Picks Andean Silk in the Pink Flamingo color. It's now a discontinued color and he used 9 or it may have been 14 balls of the stuff. He made a duplicate order of the stuff. He must research his and find out how many he actually used. I think, he can't remember how much he ordered nor did he enter the information in Ravelry.
The Creator put some effort into the detail of this one. The button band was crochet and the buttons we selected with care. I think they are shell of some type.
You can see the edging here a bit better. It really makes the sweater. The Creator deviated from the pattern as he liked a smaller picot on the edging.
It seemed like this project took forever. But, this was the second full sweater The Creator has completed. He has already casted on for one for Grandpa.
Very nicely done. And for someone who doesn't like pink very much, I think the design made the color work exceptionally well. The buttons even make it work better.
