Cherie amour sweater - the short-rows worked!

[celticdragonfly]

I have just done the shoulder join and bind-off on the Cherie Amour sweater.

And it FITS. There are no sleeves yet, and the ends aren't finished, and there's still a lifeline in. And I have no v-neck shirt to put under it yet. But I tried it on anyway. It FITS. The short-rows WORKED.

No, I don't look ANYTHING like the woman in the pattern pictures in it... and nothing will make me look like her. But I do think it's going to look nice on me. It is a very boobalicious sweater.

That's one snazzy sweater. Did you use the same color scheme?

[celticdragonfly.livejournal.com]

No, mine is in Calathea, which is a blend of maroonish-purple and green. Mardi Gras type colors.

I have some partial pics up on Flickr and Ravelry.

I just took some pics of the partial sweater on, now that I have the v-neck shirt to wear under it - but now that I see them, I feel depressed about how I look and I'm not sure I want to put them up.

Oh! I like those colors! I'll bet selenite will be tickled with the final result.

Pregnancy and nursing are hard on a woman's body, at the best of times, and when you hardly have any time to look after yourself, it's even worse. I'm a natural mesomorph: tall and muscular, but it took nearly four years before my body finally got back to what I felt was normal for me. And I only had the one child! Who I couldn't nurse!

So don't if you don't want to--(I mean, wearing them)--but do post your handiwork (like the dressaday lady does)--and just rely on the mirror/photograph that selenite and your kids give you when you wear it. It's more real.

that's a beautiful jumper, I love the texture and colours.

Am currently doing a knit/crochet jumper for the elder shrimplet and will try to post shots of them wearing the finished products.

I had to make up the pattern for younger shrimplet's effort which i finished recently. and of course i'm still working on the bumblebee.
