KAYLEE’S SWEATER
The top photo is the correct color, but the bottom one is the finished product drying on a towel.
This is basically the Jewel sweater by Doris Chan with a few modifications. Unfortunately it is smaller in the body than I wanted. I had enlarged it a tad, but it wasn’t enough. Will try another one for her in a different blue, larger size.
I used Stylecraft Special DK, although the design called for Worsted Weight, but even making it a little larger than her normal size, i needed to go up two sizes to get what she wanted in the lighter weight yarn.
MY SWEATER
I finished the sweater, but don’t have a photo yet. I have to block it first. Again, even thought I added rows and width, I didn’t add enough for it to fit me properly. If it doesn’t block out to my size I will give it away.
The color is correct. Again using Stylecraft Special DK which worked up great! This is a Michele DuNaire design called Pistachio something….a kids sweater I enlarged. I used a method that Doris Chan used in Jewel, BUT I started it later than I should so it gave me lapels. It looks fine, though.
