HIS sweater

Hello!
This is my first 'normal' sweater (can normally be worn hehehe..)
No holes, perfectly fit, and the colour is really nice.
I made this for my boyfriend. I will give it to him on 29 of January (it's our third anniversary!!! yippie!)
I hope he like it and (this time) wear it - because the first two sweaters looked like a dress to him T_T

I got the original pattern when I was at the The Knitting and Stitching Show - Alexandra Palace last year. I told the seller that I want to make a sweater for man. He suggested me to buy the Wendy Serenity yarn. He told me to buy 7 balls of it, because it's a man sweater (Well.. looking on my past sweaters experience, I have no reason to ignore him). When I went to the cashier, I realized that they're also selling the pattern. So I told the seller that I want the patten too. I opened my wallet, prepared to pay more, but he gave me the pattern for free. Lucky ^_^ (or is it always free ?)

This is the finished garment




This is detail of the pattern that I've attached to the original pattern (The original one is really plain (-_-)'



I finished it last night. It took only 5 and a half balls to finish. That means I can make a lace cape with the rest of it hihihi

I'll post the wearable version picture next time he wear it ;b

Once upon a time

Hi!!!
My name is yuliana. I have my bachelor degree in graphic design.
Right now I'm taking several courses in London College of Fashion.
It's been my fourth month in UK. Still in the middle of cold winter (sighhh~~)

This blog will be my knitting life journal.
I will fill it with my recent or past projects that I've done so far.
I hope you enjoy it ^_^
