Cece is done!
There's a reason why I'm laughing in that last pic. Our camera puts a little square on whatever it's focusing on when you're taking the picture. David was taking the pictures, and in the second last one (the close up) for some reason, the camera had two little squares focusing. One little square perfectly focused on each boob. Of course, that set him off, I demanded to know what he was laughing at, and that's the story of the laughing pic.
See the button bling?
Specs: CeCe by Chicknits
Size: 36"
Yarn: Cascade Sierra in Black, purchased from Yarns Online.
Oddly enough, when I soaked the cardi to block her, the water came out bright orange. It took quite a few rinses for the water to come off clear.
Overall, I'm very happy with the finished item, ripping it out and starting over was definitely worth it. Now I'm thinking I'd like one in pink, although I'm not quite ready to knit it a third time!

Posted by: Vicki at October 4, 2006 12:45 AMBoth cece and you look great!
Posted by: Marika at October 4, 2006 01:36 AMDonna, that looks wonderful on you. I don't think we've had a photo of you on the blog in ages, and it's nice to see you looking so good. The buttons you chose just give it the extra dash of oomph and make the cardi look both modern and vintage at the same time. Well done!

Posted by: taryn at October 4, 2006 09:04 PMmm things that get uinto the male brain hey, atleast you had someone to get a decent picture not like my jobs of trying to gawk and shoot. must have been extra dye in the yarn but lucky you found it blocking it and not as if it was a gift.
