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.

  4. 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. :)

  5. 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:-) ?

  8. Gorgeous! I wish I was faster at knitting (like my Mom), but I'm not so I've never attempted a sweater.
