Cece is done!





There’s a reason why I’m laughing in that last pic. Our camera puts a little square on whatever it’s focusing on when you’re taking the picture. David was taking the pictures, and in the second last one (the close up) for some reason, the camera had two little squares focusing. One little square perfectly focused on each boob. Of course, that set him off, I demanded to know what he was laughing at, and that’s the story of the laughing pic.
See the button bling?

Specs: CeCe by Chicknits
Size: 36″
Yarn: Cascade Sierra in Black, purchased from Yarns Online.
Oddly enough, when I soaked the cardi to block her, the water came out bright orange. It took quite a few rinses for the water to come off clear.
Overall, I’m very happy with the finished item, ripping it out and starting over was definitely worth it. Now I’m thinking I’d like one in pink, although I’m not quite ready to knit it a third time!

  4. Donna, that looks wonderful on you. I don’t think we’ve had a photo of you on the blog in ages, and it’s nice to see you looking so good. The buttons you chose just give it the extra dash of oomph and make the cardi look both modern and vintage at the same time. Well done!

  9. Cece is beautiful and worth every effort that went into it. It looks lovely on you and girl, you are looking bloody terrific making me feel rather old and dowdy ha ha ha!!!

  14. You look fabulous and so does Cece! I love the buttons you choose. Sometimes that can really make or break a sweater and yours are just perfect.

  23. Oh it looks wonderful on you Donna, and you will have to definately make one in pink too. I cant get over how much you and Emily look like one another as well. Great job!

  24. You’ve done it again….another one I just have to knit. You must be so glad you stuck to it because you look gorgeous in it. Good one!

  25. Cece looks fantastic on you Donna. It’s inspired me to buy the pattern and make one for myself. Love the button too.

  28. mm things that get uinto the male brain hey, atleast you had someone to get a decent picture not like my jobs of trying to gawk and shoot. must have been extra dye in the yarn but lucky you found it blocking it and not as if it was a gift.
