Belated Birthday
Posted by limedragon | Filed under knitting, sweaters
After almost two months of crazy deadlines, I was eager to knit something at a relaxed pace. Since my birthday was coming up, I thought I ought to make myself something. I chose this design, because I thought it might go well with my dresses.

Gift #1
