FO: Cerisara Sweater

I finally got my sweater blocked and we shot some photos of Cerisara last Friday before work.  Here she is!IMG_8186 I had worried so much about the blocking, but you can see that the ribbing at the bottom relaxed after its bath:IMG_8175Remember how I saw I was surprised that my swatch didn’t change sizes after blocking even though alpaca is known for growing?  Well, the sweater really wanted to grow.  But I spent the requisite supplicative time on my knees in front of my blocking towel, and I was able to nudge the sweater back into the dimensions I wanted it to be. IMG_8190 I am very pleased and really enjoyed wearing this comfortable sweater to work last week.  Hooray!

Now, my pink and green sock is giving me a headache again, but I’ll save that update for another post.  For now, happiness!
