What was your inspiration?

With a subtle herringbone lace panel traveling up the front body and delicate waist shaping, this pullover exudes a lovely ethereal feel. To enhance the softness, the cuffs and neckline are highlighted with a beautiful alpaca lace fiber. This sweater will delight your knitting hands, as well as your eye for fashion.

What are you most proud of?

I love how the delicate collar overlaps to soften the square neckline

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

I think you will find it a great beginning sweater
