February 16, 2010, becoming ladylike

The sweater is starting to look like it's going to look when it's done. I like the way that happens. You start with a piece of string and flick, flick, flick (repeat tens of thousands of times) it becomes a garment.
I am now finished the 6th repeat of the lace pattern on the body. I don't know how many it'll have, but her picture of the finished object has only 19 repeats and I'm sure she's making a size bigger than mine. I'm still comfortably using up my 3rd ball of yarn. I finished up to the end of #5 last night, but squeezed in another repeat this morning before taking progress portraits.
Overall, I am happy that I opted for 4 buttons, but I wish I'd left fewer rows between the repeats so that there was a bit more space between the bottom button and the start of the lace. As it is, they're exactly in line with each other.
