It's very nice even if the sleeves are a bit short. :D

I have knitted a hat for myself. I needed something to match the scarf I received from my daughter - and anyway, the hat I knitted and crocheted last year has stretched and doesn't fit anymore. Hope this won't do that. It is made of alpaka and really soft and warm.

I have made a pullover for my daughter. I used the same wonderful alpaca yarn as for the hat just in shades of grey. I didn't use any pattern just improvised all the way. I love improvising, except when I finish a sleeve and realise I have to reproduce the same thing in the other one :thinks: So I took a deep breath and went for crazy, and made two different sleeves. :roll:

Typical of me not finishing it for winter but only when it is already almost summer in Hungary :( She hasn't seen it yet, I sent it by post. I hope she will like it.

Oh, by the way, I managed to add to the sleeves of Stephen cardigan, and now he is proudly wearing it. He seems to like it a lot. :)

:applesauce: :applesauce: Beautiful sweater and I am in awe of your being able to do something this lovely with no pattern. Your daughter is going to be anxious for winter to come back just so she can wear it!
