fruits of summer August 22, 2007

Not a very fruity summer though. Have been to busy to sit down at home and knit or sew or otherwise craft. But there is one lonely finished thing

Behold, the (not so) Minisweater!

Sorry so blurry, silly self timers! Very very easy and quick. I bought the yarn, All Seasons Cotton, to make Pia but once it was done I realised it was not flattering enough for me to ever wear. No very exciting mods, just made it longer, obviously and did yrn increases and eyelet holes around the edging.

I did the boobie increases and then immediately started decreasing until it fitted my waist. It looks rather unusual blocking, but fits just perfect. I really love the neckline

and the red glass buttons that my Mum sent me.

I would make this again in a heartbeat. Looking it forward to being not 37 degrees so I can wear it!

I think you should rename it the boob enhancer - va va voom! Those buttons are too cute and I love the longer length!!!
