I finished the sweater, and wore it to work today. I have gotten so many compliments on this sweater, and a couple of people would like to order one like it. I started it on Friday of last week and worked on it maybe a couple of hours each night, I couldn't wait to wear it, its so light and comfortable. It has picot trim on the sleeves and around the bottom. And this was my first attempt at making a flower pin, not too bad huh? There is a better photo on my blog with me wearing the sweater, so please visit.

I used a modified modular method, so there wasn't really a pattern. Basically, I chain stitched from the neck to how long I wanted the sweater and did rows of double crochets to how wide I wanted it (2 squares make up the front and back. I seamed the shoulders and down the sides using a slip stitch and added double crochet sleeves in the round, then added the picot trim, it was super easy.
