That 'Green' Girl....

Yesterday I was finally able to put the finishing touches on my 'Green Girl'..3

What can I say..... I love everything about this little project!!! The fact that it's knit from the top down which makes it seamless, BONUS.... The gorgeous Cascade 220 yarn in that amazing Apple Green colourway that I chose to use, AWESOME!!! The little turned over collar, single button closure and super sweet puffy sleeve, DIVINE!!!! The fact that I only used 280grams of yarn for this whole project, yes that's right less than 3 skeins which is less than $20, WOW!!!4

I love finishing a project on a good note, how about you????

    This sweater came out so cute...It was fun to see the photos from your vacation as a work in progress to this adorable photo with your sweater and summer dress that you made. Looks really cozy.

    That is just a georgeous colour and design and I do enjoy top down knitting as I don't like sewing together.

    its' so lovely! lovely! lovely! I think I shall have to make one. I'm still wriggling my way round top down - working on a bottom up at the moment and that seems less scary :-)
