FO!
This morning, my Gwen was like this:
And I chose the buttons for Gwen...
These are the buttons I have got some years ago in France. I've walked around in a small "vide-grenier", a mini-flea market, in country side and looked for something useful for knitting. I found a man who placed a big banboo round tray front of him, and inside many crappy, old and dusty button-sheets. I picked up 5-6 sheets like this, some in shell and some plastic, all the partial sheets, 1.5 euros in total. So we can call it kind of antique buttons, and I pick up this for Gwen. Old shell buttons.
And yes, I FINISHED GWEN.
To take this photo, I tried to tear off DH from his PC and forced, to catch the last sunlight of the day. It was evening and I wanted a FO photo without flash. How do you think??? It is snug and fit well, I have not yet wash it. The shoulder looks jacket-like rather than cardigan...it is a bit different from imagined. ANYWAY, I am more than happy to be able to put it on!
BTW, I bought 10 balls of Handknit Cotton. After Gwen, the odds are like that:
I REKNIT the right front, though there is yet one brand-new ball remains. So, if you plan to knit Gwen size XS, I believe you need only 8 balls instead or 9, which is required in the pattern.
And my Electra is still without arms....I concentrated so much on Gwen and consumed all the spare time for it until now. Next time, I guess I could show you Electra and maybe new project(s)...

Pretty! I really like the front detailing...and the little elephants look very fun now with button eyes. :) It's funny how different the color of the yarn looks from picture to picture. Is the color of it in the picture where you have it on the closest to the real color?
