Manhattan sweater (sort-of)

This sweater is almost 6 years old but not actively posting at that time, I hadn't written about it... thought I'll remedy that now:-)

It started out as a Manhattan sweater pattern, really snazzy, close-fitting, I measured, re-measured, worked out the gauge etc., then, as usual, suspended the work for about 6 months and forgot about it.

When my mom visited me one Winter, the year LOTR: Fellowship of the Ring was released, I decided to finish it, except, I decided to make it fit my mom instead.

As it happens, I am not an expert at extrapolating crochet patterns, so, this doesn't have the chic finish I was looking for, plus I added a few edging touches not in the original pattern... but, it fits my mom well and she happens to like it. She wears it like a blouse and wraps her saree over, which keeps her plenty warm in Winters here, at least indoors.

I was digging through my old photos and found quite a few of my crochet creations and hope to be posting them soon... just so I can remind myself about their existence, at least ;-)
