Brilliant Lacy Cardi

Pattern: Combo of several patterns and my own improvising
Yarn: Patons Brilliant, White Twinkle
Needles: US #7

I have tried and tried to get good pictures of this sweater. After a few attempts I settled on using these, which I don't think quite do the sweater justice.

I wanted a lacy sweater with a bit of silver. I found Paton's Brilliant yarn in White Twinkle, which was just the color I had in mind. However, it's pesky chain construction keeps it off my list of favorite yarns.

I started off by choosing a lace pattern in one of my stitch dictionaries. Then, I combined a few elements of a few sweater patterns I liked. I'm happy with the way it turned out. In fact, I'm planning to make another version in black with about three inches less ribbing on the bottom.
