What was your inspiration?

Unique sweater for my daughter

What are you most proud of?

I started making this for me, but when my 9 year old saw the yoke, she claimed it! She redesigned the entire sweater, and I just knit what she wanted. This is our first real collaboration in crafting!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Hold your yarn REALLY loose in the colorwork.

I totally agree about loosening up during the color work. The pattern at the bottom of the sweater is so pretty. Nicely done.
