Tiny Tea Leaves (Sweater #16)

The Tiny Tea Leaves Sweater for Daughter was finished long before the Solstice.  The third skein of yarn matched the second one perfectly, so I completely lucked out.  There is still some striping, but it's not nearly as noticeable in real life as it is in the photos.  I blame the flash.  

Daughter absolutely loved it; especially the vintage buttons that look like jewels.  Exchanging gifts on the Solstice was an awesome idea and the handmade gifts went over really well. Everybody (but me) got a handmade gift which is good because now I have something to blog about for the next week.  

The pattern for the Tiny Tea Leaves can be found here and I would say it's well worth the $4.  I kind of want to make one for myself, but the wide neckline worries me.  I've already had problems with that.  The yarn is Quince and Co Chickadee, soft enough for Daughter with wonderful drape for me.  Plus I know she'll be warm.
