Thought you'd like to see what the leaf border looks like ... before I rip it out. Yup. There are two tiny flaws right at the beginning - the sort of thing I notice but could make myself ignore except that last night I tried the sweater on and decided I want the body to be a few inches longer. How the sweater looks ON me is more important than how perfectly it is knitted. Still, since I won't even wear it if I don't like how it looks on, might as well fix the knitting error at the same time. So. Off comes this border - 2 more inches of sweater body will be knit and then the leaves shall return. But isn't it a pretty finish to a garment?
