In The Details
God is in the details.

This may be my finest sweater yet. The knitting, the ruffles, the decreases, the ribbon, the buttons. It's all here.
Rowena
Pattern: Rowena from Knit 2 Together
Yarn: Knit Picks Ambrosia
Needles: US 4 and US 3 Addi Turbos
Notes: I've previously discussed my raglan and ruffle mods, otherwise I made it as written. The ruffles were fiddly, but in a good way. The hardest part was probably finding a complementary ribbon.
Best Thing About This Project: Sshhh . . . . It's a surprise. There should be a modeled shot from the recipient later this summer.

It's beautiful. I love the color and the ruffles are fabulous.
So very pretty and dainty! Very cute!
Hmm, now I'm frantically trying to figure out whom this could be for...someone who doesn't read the blog, I would guess, but it seems like everyone you know does. Well, I have it down to a shortlist of about 4 at least.
I can't wait to see what sweet little feminine thing gets to wear this LOVELY sweater. It is all sweetness!
I LOVE it!!! Great job, and since I've already had my birthday, I'm sure this isn't for me....darn it! Lucky recipient!
Oh such a beautiful sweater - it is so feminine with ribbons and ruffles and those lovely buttons. The girl on the receiving end of this sweater is very fortunate!! Excellent work!!
You are rightly proud. Rowena is gorgeous!
Oh so pretty!!! I love how girly the ruffles and ribbon make it. :)
What a beautiful sweater!
Gorgeous!
Beautiful sweater! Great work with all of the details that make it so special. I can't wait to see it modeled!
Soo pretty! I love the buttons - perfect fit!
Wow -- The sweater is lovely, really nice knitting. It's on my list of to do's.. right now I'm working on the Linen Kilt from the same book for my LYS.
That is so, so cute!
It's so very pretty!!! Fantastic job!
Ooh, very tantalizing...and just when I was about to complain about the lack of modeled shots.
It looks great!
It really is a beautiful sweater, and I am saying this as one who does not like pink. It's so feminine! I am sure the recipient will LOVE it!
Oh wow, it's gorgeous! This one's been on my to-knit list for a while, and after seeing yours, it's jumped nearly to the top :) Great job!
I was wondering why there weren't any pictures of you wearing it. Now I know. What a fabulous gift!
Oh, that is lovely! I agree, your best baby sweater to date!
Wow, that definitely makes me want to make this! I thought the version in the book was lovely, but yours is even prettier! I'm sure the recipient will love it (it really looks like it will suit her).
Oh, I loved the pattern in the book but hadn't really seen it knitted up. I love yours!
I am trying - with some difficulty - to knit this sweater, except top-down and in one piece. YIKES! Your FO looks lovely. So pretty!
I'm catching up on your old posts and had to comment on Rowena... it's lovely! There is a little flag in my brain for this sweater. It's so feminine and pretty. Can't wait for more info and photos!
