Still working on Flo.... Yes, still. It is in 4 ply yarn nevertheless. With sleeve cap and one more frill to go.
I can't wait to try out the buttons. These are the 2 sets of buttons that I have in stash that I have at least 10 of, as called by the pattern. I'm quite sure I'll go for the small pearly ones. Do you think so too?
I sewed all the pieces I have on hand during the weekend instead of waiting for a whole sewing party at the end, I prefer to steam block with an iron and sew some as I go. Here's a peek at the inside of the garment.
I should really be concentrating on Flo as it would be the perfect sweater weather in Hong Kong next week. However, I started a new project. My good friends are having a baby very, very soon and I just have to start the sweater for the baby girl. The pattern is from a vintage Patons and Baldwin booklet that Joy lent me. It is seamless and topdown. Hooray. Hope to finish this soon too.
I love the tiny pearl buttons! Flo is going to be very pretty.

Beautiful sweater, and the pearl buttons are perfect. Very feminine and classy. The baby's sweater looks wonderful, also. Please post more photos when you've finished.
Have fun in Japan.
