So Close to Being Done

... on the sweater that I am knitting for the eldest. I am about two inches away from having to switch to larger needles that I have not purchased yet. Then it will be three inches of rib pattern on the larger needles, bind that off, sew the seams and it's done. My daughter and I are so excited.

And good news, the next sweater project has been lined up. My second eldest has agreed with the pattern that I found. Now we just have to find the colors we like. We'll need a multi-toned yarn that isn't too bright or gaudy for the main body. Then we'll look at some lighter, more feathery yarns to highlight the collar and cuffs. My ideal colors for her would be a soft brown or tan for the body and a honeyed golden yellow for the collar. That would be such a pretty combination to highlight her hair and eyes. And just enough ruffly to make it a little more girly than just a straight sweater. Can't wait to start on it!
