The sweater turned out beautifully, and I love that you were able to keep so much of her work intact while still turning it into something wearable.

That’s a great end to a very interesting journey. Your grandma is gorgeous, and so is the sweater you finished for her! I think it was a really neat idea to shorten the sleeves and alternate the yarns; you can’t really tell in the photos, but even if you could, it could just be the variegation in the yarn.
These are the projects that make for such interesting blogging, isn’t it?

The sweater turned out wonderfully! It’s great that you were able to turn the mismatched sweater into something wearable that was started by your grandmother.

So lovely! I love the idea of finishing something that she started… all of the problems and things you had to figure out. Makes me wish my relatives had left me some knitting, but its just me making them scarves and hats! In a way, she was making that sweater for you…

How nice is that, to have a sweater that you both worked on? It’s just perfect Ruth - what a heartwarming post to read on a Monday morning. And I love that picture of your grandmother, it’s lovely.
