Pumpkin Liesl
I finally finished my Liesl. I am really happy with how this sweater turned out. It was a really fun knit. It was nice to be able to try it on as I went and get the length that I wanted. Once I got past the yoke, the pattern was easy to knit from memory. The only thing that gave me any trouble was the sleeves. For some reason, I had a hard time getting my lace pattern to line up. So after 3 tries on the right sleeve and 2 tries on the left, I got my lace to match. My 13 year old daughter has been eyeing this since I started it. She's been asking me when HER sweater would be done. It actually fits us both...just in totally different ways. I wish it fit me the way that it fits her. I think if I do make this again, I would make it two sizes larger or else pick a larger needle. That whole gauge thing really throws me sometimes. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoM9IDyC6tqKig36ix7wmSoJ-CAwo82ZH4XGvJOIxy9lDhvytGXbo2ODur6B6HGuLuCY1Wz_T6loj628yz5mr7wG6NU7vGZvlCqkq9QmugS6F5eNmJF_HvUnzhxsVxYblwQmivyLZIojXy/s320/IMG_1177.jpg)
