    Smile sweater in the round and round + improvised

    There's a story behind this sweater. In doing the continuous rounds, the sweater got bigger around, so after I added the lace in front I had to decrease the back stitches to make it fit a little better. You can probably see in the back where it buckles a bit. My 16" armholes turned out to be 18" so I had more adjusting to do there. I wore it to Bible Study on Wednesday and four people had nice things to say about it. I've still got to sc around the neckline. Without further ado, presenting:

    Thank you for your compliments and feedback. I've been in a sweater-making mood lately. I've made four during the past month. You've seen the purple, turquoise (aqua). I haven't shown the orange which I will after this message, and I'm almost ready to show the boysenberry.
