the yarn was free.
I'm loving this sweater. Wore it out to run errands this morning already and pretty much never want to take it off. Here I am in Zoe's room - the light's better than Maya's but still I'm photo challenged.
This is the embodiment of a jones I've had for about a year now - ever since I saw a chunky, white lace sweater with black buttons in the now-defunct Babystyle at the Burlington Mall. Never mind that the original was a maternity sweater - if it wasn't made of cheapo acrylic, I'd have owned it. The plastic model paired hers with a black tee and jeans, so here I've done the same. I left off the fake maternity pillow belly, since post-holidays, I'm sporting my own.

The blue and yellow spot you see in the above photo? A cupcake sticker on Zoe's mirror.

I tried to get more funky with the buttons, but in the end, these basic blacks gave me the look I wanted.

The changes from the Rebecca pattern that inspired this are too many to mention. I think in the end, the only thing I used from the book was the lace leaf pattern and the K1P1 rib for the button band. It's exactly what I wanted, and it fits like a dream.
oh yeah, and it was FREE.
