Finished Project: Mavis

posted Sunday, 24 February 2008

Mavis from Naturally Noro
Yarn: Noro Kureyon #113
Needles: 5mm Addi Turbos
Time to knit: Approx 2 months
Time to finish: Approx 3 years!
Thoughts: I bought the yarn and book for this sweater in August 2005.  I finished knitting later that year...but never got around to sewing up.  I finally finished Mavis in February 2008! It's beautiful and comfortable, everytime I wear it I get compliments! I lengthened the sleeves and did a three needle bind off on the shoulder before knitting the collar in the round.
