papaya's sweater

this is papaya's Christmas sweater

even though it wasn't ready for Christmas or even in our house

i had a little bit of difficulty finishing it off

this is an ella rae pattern and i used kathmandu aran yarn

i was happy with both until i needed to finish it

the pattern instructed to have a moss stitch border

which i made and re-made three times

once on the sweater it made the final project bulky and it wouldn't lay flat

i was really frustrated given the self-imposed time crunch

however, oma came to the rescue

i mailed the sweater to a big prairie city

once the border was pulled off, she used her crochet skills to give it a nice unbulky finished edge

thanks oma!

here is oma's finishing touches
