Buttons from The Woolpack in Acton.

This is my first finished sweater. Unfortunately, I’m always going to think of it as “The Cancer Sweater” since I knitted most of it during my treatment/surgery this summer. :-/

Got a lesson the hard way that a stitch marker is my friend -- note that pattern is off by one stitch on the right-hand side. Otherwise, a fun knit.

Sweater has 20 pattern repeats in the body, 18 on the sleeves.

p.s. My model is Carol, who graciously posed for me on Salisbury Beach on August 9.
