I was so inspired by the first CF sweater that I immediately started on a second, Petrea. This one did not come with a recipe (there is one now, I believe) so I swatched my yarn and purchased a closed-front, short-sleeve, cardigan pattern from CF. I did the match for placement of the lace panels myself.
This sweater came out near to perfect. The only issue I am still debating is whether to stitch close the little 'v' at the top of the button band. A fellow ravelry member suggested a hook-and-eye so I can still unbutton the sweater, however I don't plan to wear it open.
This is another local yarn - Sun Valley Fibers DK Bluefaced Leicester (BFL) Superwash, colorway: Frosty Pine.
I am not sure what is up next - my daughters are staring to request things again: socks for #1, a short-sleeve tee for #2, a hoodie for #3. Thankfully #4 is happy with the hand-me-downs that are still around, but I'm sure she'll want something special when fall rolls around.
And those socks I posted about a couple months ago? The ones for my husband? We'll they shrank in the wash (ugh - caution: front-loading washers can do a number on superwash yarns!) and now are for me. And I've started on another pair for him...
