Be Sweet Sweater

Here is a picture of our recently completed sample of Be Sweet's Magic Cardigan. Marylou Andes knit it and said it was a fun project. She enjoyed choosing the yarns and using the Magic Balls to knit. We fudged on the materials a little and put in some odds an ends of matching yarns in our chosen colorway. The Magic Ball was the inspiration for the colors and fibers to start with for sure.We chose Tudor Rose for a fresh springy look.It is an Advanced Beginner pattern,one size fits most, NOT. It is a small,like size 6,8,10ish...............that not most if you ask me,well not in my Fab 50 world anyway! We have this yarn and the pattern at the shop.
Se ya soon,
Celia
