Notes

Testing this beautiful sweater.

Interesting construction, love how the lace panels are placed on the sleeves. Lace on the back adds an interesting touch. Easy and fun project with great result.

Colour choice by my daughter.

Turquoise is one ofthe oldest protection amulets and was also known as a symbol of wealth in many Ancient cultures.
If given a turquoise by a loving friend, that stone would protect the wearer from the negative energy and bring good fortune.

Had to wash started project and remaining yarn - my hands were GREEN every time I knit for more than 5 minutes :D. Added some vinegar to the water to fix the colour.
