my Rowena is done!I decided to leave the ribbon (or any alternatives) off, and just used a hook and eye clasp at the neckline, a decision I'm very happy with. I just don't think I would have worn the floppy bow well.
I embroidered little red leaves onto some grey wool flannel I had, and made fabric-covered buttons to finish it off.
It took just over 2 balls (200g) of Bendigo Classic 5ply, on 3.75mm addi circulars, so not only was it a most enjoyable knit, it was also quite an economical little knit!
just perfect for early Spring in Melbourne!

Beautiful, just the thing for this gorgeous weather we're having.
Love, love, love it. It looks wonderful on, and oh! those buttons.
Bravo! Loud cheers from the blog sidelines, g
looks great! The photo is a lot of fun too. Nice choice to include the table :)I think the no ribbon was a good plan too. Would have made it kinda fussy.
Rowena is beautiful, she is. And the buttons are a lovely addition.
Love it!!!
