So, it’s my birthday today and we’re off to an early supper at a trendy little tapas place. You know leftovers on your birthday simply won’t cut it. However, first I have to show off my Butterfly out of Noro that is finally done. Well it has been done for a while waiting for me to put on a hook and eye, but you know that just didn’t cut it either. I have a little too much to keep it closed in a way that looked right. So I went through my beautiful pin collection and picked out a butterfly to match.
Mind you I shortened the sleeves and the body all by 2 inches all the way around.
I probably could’ve did 2 more, but really I’m not dissatisfied.
I think I will wear it. I used nearly every bit of yarn I had too getting those stripes to match on the sleeves and then along the front. The back was the easiest.









It looks great! Happy Birthday!
What a beautiful sweater!
And of course, happy birthday to you!
Happy Birthday!!
Your sweater looks wonderful and you look great in it!
Oh I love the finished product so pretty.
It’s every bit as fabulous as I anticipated it would be. Happy Birthday!
A very Happy Birthday to you. The Butterfly is so lovely and you look terrific wearing it.
Another Happy Birthday here and one on Ravelry as well, where I noticed the little birthday cake on your avatar!
Oh you look so beautiful!!!! Happy, happy birthday—enjoy it all!
Happy Birthday!! Butterfly is gorgeous and you did such good work making it match. Hope you had a lovely night out.
It is BEAUTIFUL Rose! I love the brightness, the collar, the zigzags changing into stripes – gorgeous!
(I’ve made a “matching stripes” Noro sweater, so I know what goes into that!)
It looks great and Happy Birthday too.
Happy Birthday! And Butterfly looks wonderful. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it in such a bright color, but it really, really works.
HAPPY HAPPY! Glad that it was a good one. The sweater is beautiful.
Happy belated birthday! And the sweater looks great on you!
It is just stunning!!!!!! You did a wonderful job.
Happy belated birthday! Sorry I missed your day, I went to Decatur for Thanksgiving and then brought home some kind of flu bug
The sweater is gorgeous and looks great on you! Personally, I like the sleeves being a bit long on it.
