Peasy(1) has found a home. It fits great! And she's a knitter!!! A win-win.
Peasy(2) has found a home, too. With me. I like it. I like the dahlia. Several people voted to frog the whole thing and start over--and ordinarily, that is exactly what I would have done. But after I came up with the flower idea to cover the goof in the lace pattern, I thought I just might really like that. I'm such a visual person (as opposed to one who can conceptualize)--I absolutely have to SEE something (whether it's furniture, paint, or knitting--------I once painted an entire room before it became clear that I would feel like Peter Pumpkineater's wife living inside a pumpkin.)
So, I decided to finish it--complete with dahlia--and SEE if it was something I can live with. I think it is. I still know the mistake is there--and in fact, I can almost see it, can you?
FO Friday with Tami.
It looks great, and I think the flower works really well :)

I can't see the mistake. Maybe if I had made this cardi I'd be able to see it? =D

Both sweaters are so lovely! I absolutely adore the way you camouflaged the lace mistake with a gorgeous dahlia. It looks like it was a planned design feature!

Lovely cardigans, I especially love the purple colour. I can never spot mistakes, I think most people can't!

I am glad your peasy the first found a fun home. As for peasy the second, it looks lovely on you :) Have a good weekend!

I think that's a very ingenious way to cover a mistake, and it looks fabulous. I've not come across the peasy pattern before, and it looks lovely, definitely one for my ravelry list of things to knit. Both the cardigans are just gorgeous! Vanessa xxx

I love the flower on the sweater! I think it gives it a little ooomph. Of course, the sweater's beautiful either way.
