FO Alert -- Today I spent sewing up Lara and after a few false starts, she's finished! And she's wearing the first of the labels I ordered last month, which prove more than anything else that sewing is not my forte. This was a really fun sweater to knit, the Cash Iroha that I used worked with the pattern very well, and now that I'm finished, I'm not sure I'll make another, but it's definitely something to consider for the future.
The finishing for this was simple compared with Perkins, which is also coming along. By the end of the day, the sewing, the buttonhole band and collar should be complete with only the lace edging on the bottom to knit and attach. The end is really in sight.
Spending part of the afternoon organizing the stash that has been accumulating on my guest bed, actually, all over the guest room, so that it doesn't overwhelm my nephew when he shows up this week. Gotta finish while the daylight is still bright...
Great looking Lara - adore the color! Nice to see it in other fibers.
Ugg booties are sooo cute too.

Beautiful sweater, I am still working on the 2nd group of 32 longs rows for my Lara. I love the way the Noro looks.
