I am so frequently caught up in making things for my Etsy shop, or charity, that I am very excited that I finally got around to making something for myself! I present to you my latest knit item...(thanks to my co-worker for taking these pics of me).
I found this beautiful pattern on
Ravelry and I just knew that it was going to be something that I needed to make. The pattern is Ophelia, and can be found
here. The design is originally for a cardigan, but it wasn't sitting right on my wide hips. I went ahead and seamed it at the front (using the invisible
mattress stitch seam) and now it's a v-neck instead. I've been getting compliments on it all day at work and I'm really happy to be showing off my handiwork.

That is beautiful!!! You have inspired me to take my knitting to another step. I get in a comfort groove with knitting and tend to not try new patterns, but I love this.
Wow, great job hun! It turned out awesome! And I love your color choices as well, oh so pretty!!
:D
gorgeous -- you deserve all the compliments!
What yarn did you use? or can I find you on Ravelry, which is how I got here!
