Clara's Knitting: Lace Sweater from Vintage Knits
Known in Sarah Dallas' Vintage Knits only as the "Lace Sweater," it was meant to be knitted in cotton. It's quite different in the lace-weight merino Clara chose, and it's oh so heavenly. Short bodice, long sleeves, and she's planning to wear it over a jersey dress I'm about to make her. That's the jersey covering the buttons now.

Exquisite!
Gosh, some people have it, and some people don't. Lace knitting still terrifies me. But Clara has that elegance and apparent serenity for which lace shawls and sweaters are necessary. :)

Oh, wow, just lovely!!!
Stunning! Love how the buttons make the sweater just pop with the color! I am amazed at Clara's knitting skills for such a young lady. Who needles did she sit under:-) ?
Beautiful and that color will look beautiful on Clara.
Clara's knitting is perfection. I wish I could hold her hands and just absorb some of that talent. Simply beautiful!
Gorgeous! I wish I was faster at knitting (like my Mom), but I'm not so I've never attempted a sweater.
Wow, how stunning! Beautiful work, Clara.
So beautifully tiny and soft. Such talent! Christina
I am speechless over her knitting skills. Unbelievable! I can't wait to see it with the jersey dress.
Any chance any of these creations would wnd up in your shop or be available for special orders???
I don't know about that, but I'll ask Clara and post an answer here in a few days.
