My Eternity Project

Last summer my mother saw the Jali cardigan in Interweave Knits and said she wanted one. We bought some yarn for it then and there, but after I returned to Italy I decided to change and bought some gorgeous Lane Borgosesia Alpaca
I hated knitting the thing!!! The figure on the back crumpled up and it was really hard to judge lengths and widths and the frigging thing was not ready at Christmas!
At Easter mom came here, for six days... on the very last night I finished the cardigan... we photographed it just as she was leaving for Rome (At the B&B where she was staying)








Not bad for almost 84! And the cardigan is nice too... only 400 grams of softest alpaca...

It's beautyful.

I end up hating everything my mom want's me to knit. And it took me a year osr so to knit her a pair of gloves. So I think your timeline wasn't too bad :)
