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? That’s a great end to a very interesting journey. Your grandma is gorgeous, and so is the sweater you finished for her!

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... So lovely!

And I love that picture of your grandmother, it's lovely. 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.

I would imagine it will be a comforting sweater. It looks like a great fit & your redone neck & sleeves go well with the pattern, imo. Congratulations! What a way to memorialize your grandmother!
