Floral Fantasy Pullover Reviewed by Adrienne Reible on 2009-03-11 ****
I made this when it first was published as a Christmas gift for my mother. She gets so many compliments whenever she wears it! I just wish that I checked my gauge closer as I don't think I made the sleevs long enough. Overall, this is fairly easy and very beautiful when completed!
