“We are all self-made. But only the successful will admit it.” |

This sweater has been in the dreaming-of phase for about 3 years now, ever since I saw someone sporting a little cardi with a similar shape and construction at the Old Town Art Fair in 2009 |
|||
 |
|||
|
Of course, now that it’s finished, it bears little resemblance to the sweater that inspired it. |
|||
 |
|||
|
It’s worked in one piece in a modular fashion, starting at the upper back and worked down in segments, with a simple and lovely lace shawl collar, yokes in front and back, a gathered bodice, and a slightly swingy profile |
|||
 |
|||
|
Sleeves can be made short, three-quarter length, or long and the body also can be done cropped, mid- or tunic length. |
