Finished and worn for the first time! Love it!!
Pattern: Lady Lovelace designed by Teva Durham (row 19 needs YO on each side of center stitch deleted to work out right on row 21). Available free here. Both a sweater and matching shawl.
Yarn: Ushya by Mirasol 98% Merino Wool 2% Polyamide (Mirasol dedicates a portion of every sale to the funding of a school in the remote area of Munari, the region of Puno, Peru).
Needles: US size 11 and US size 6
I can't begin to tell you how much I love this yarn! It is so soft and so light and so easy to work with... surprisingly so, for such a bulky yarn.
I ended up liking the odd mix on the last six rows of the shawl... even after I located more of the Ushya, I decided to stick with my odd mix. There is a slight issue of curling on the edge, especially if you have been bending your arm up a lot. Not anything that makes me like it less, but noted. I think the bodice would make a great vest, too. Cool, easy pattern (Now, don't let my mistakes on the first day lead you to think this isn't so. My tendency is that, if it is easy, I don't pay as much attention as I should).
I should have gotten photos of just the sweater, but it's not as easy without my photographer here (hint, hint, Amanda!). Fun. Quick. Two thumbs up!!
Hope you are all having a wonderful, productive and peaceful week!

Super gorgeous, looks warm...you and the sweater! ;D
"Lady Lovelace"--what an appropriate name. It reminds me of fall in the Shenandoah Valley. Wonder why?
Best,
Bonnie
very pretty! i like the shawl - and the curl adds a feminine touch! :)
Oh, it is just beautiful! The color is rich and gorgeous, especially for fall, and I love the feminine touches!
I am in awe. If I wore that I would feel like a princess. Do you? The style is fabulous and I love the rich rust color.
Tanna, that is so pretty. Love the color and you look fabulous.
It's hard to imagine there was anything quick about this project..it looks complex to me but it turned out just lovely and looks great on you! I just love the flare to it and of course love the color!
Oh my goodness, that is so gorgeous. Just like the model. The colour and the pattern is stunning. You do such great work and it is so unique looking. Enjoy wearing it and all the compliments that go with it. Hugs, Deb
Oh Tanna... it is gorgeous! You did such a great job. I love the color. You look beautiful!
So lovely and the fit is spectacular!! I love that the yarn is thicker but yet the whole pattern is delicate with the open lace :)
This is a beautiful color, looks stunning on you. What a major accomplishment. Thanks so much for sharing with us.
You are adorable! I love this color and design. So unique. I can't believe how quickly you put it all together. Lovely!

Oh Tanna....you did a beautiful job!
The shawl is absolutely gorgeous, and you are so stinking cute! You would have to be nothing but proud of your work, because I am very impressed...
I have been thinking of cutting my hair and I do love you style...don't know if it would look ok on me, but I might just have to give it a try.

Tanna, you are so smart! your sweater turned out beautifully! And you are awesome in it. Great job!
Very nice, Tanna. I really like the addition of the multi-color, and your color is so much nicer than the one on the pattern! It sure doesn't look like a quick pattern; it looks to me like a "don't talk to me" one. LOL I'll have to check out that yarn...
Very lovely indeed!
Smiles, Dottie
Well done! You picked the perfect colour, too!
This is THE cutest sweater. Love all the details and it looks so good on you!
This is gorgeous. That shawl really gilts the lily!!!
That is beautiful! That color is gorgeous on you.
This one is downright stunning to me. I knew that I was going to like it when I saw the original color because I love that hue. The design of it is fabulous.
Especially with your shape. Just sayin'... I probably would look a like a terra cot pot in it.
Look beaitiful Tanna! I love knitting too!
Beautiful sweater and a wonderful color for you!
Deb

Magic fingers...yup that's you!
You have the eye for color and the fingers to express your creativity.
And it looks so good on you!
It is beautiful and it should be modeled on a beautiful woman, which it was...oh enjoy the works of your hands, you talented lady!
Clever design and that color looks wonderful on you!
That is insane Tanna. What a wonderful pattern, and it looks fabulous on you!
Blessings, Debbie

You and your sweater are both gorgeous, Tanna! Love the color, too! You are so talented.
Have a great day!
It looks fabulous on you!
This could be my favorite one yet. And I'm with you, I like the six rows of varying color. Adds a little something extra. Your pictures are great, although I would have loved to have had another chance to "shoot and run."! Ha!! What fun memories. Love you soooo big. Xoxoxoxo
Amazing, you have talent. My mother in law does the same things, I have to say - I do not have the patience to do something like this....
Sweater is gorgeous! You are so talented.
Oh Tanna,
You are just so stinkin' CUTE! You make such a super cute model. The sweater and shawl turned out beautiful and they look even more so on you. Great job.
Much love,
Ana
