It’s finished! 
This is the truer color, not sure why I’m getting different colors in my pictures. 
These are ‘craft buttons’ from Joanns. They are wood and are dyed. I was concerned that maybe the color would run, so I soaked them in boiling water, there was a little bit of crocking (when the color bleeds out). But I think now they are ok.
I steam blocked this with my iron. As you can see I blocked the ribbing on the body of the sweater but left the cuffs alone. One ribbing is blocked it can be unblocked and I want the sleeve ribbing to hug the arm.
At first I couldn’t get her to try it on – TOO HOT! Well she’s right about that, then once she put it on she declined to take it off – that means she loves it.
How’s that for a modeling pose! I was thrilled with the knitting and the end result and am very happy that this can be knit in many sizes, I will be making more – either for Shira as she grows or for other girls.
Flower sweater done
It’s wonderful! The buttons are charming too. Once it all comes together, it’s a fun knit.
Thanks, if it weren’t for you I’d never know about this sweater. Now Shira is bragging that I made it for her – grandkids are he best.
you did a great job and I would like to ask you if you could guide me step by step on how to complete the sleeves i don’t quite get it and i’m anoyed because i wanted to give it to my girlfriend for her baby shower! I would appreciate it a lot
Really really beautiful! Is it cooling down there since you took these photos? This week has been cooler in SLO. Once the temperatures drop a bit I bet she won’t take that off!
Still Pretty warm here, but she didn’t want to take it off, even if it is too hot.
I could see this sweater up-sized for YOU! Great job!
