Knitted Two-Tone Tunic Reviewed by Emily Forester on 2008-09-23
This is the first sweater I ever made, and although I've made several other garments since, this sweater is my favourite. I made mine all one colour - navy - and it is so warm and cozy! I'm planning to make another soon even though I currently have a few projects on the go!
