This was my first attempt at a miniature sweater with little blocks of different colors in it. I later found out these were 'intarsia', a word I still don't know how to pronounce. I'm pretty sure I did them the wrong way, having not read the instructions, but they look alright. I had a few minor issues with this sweater, both of which D helped me with-- adding on the knitted neckband, and sewing in the sleeves.
After a trip to NYC, the rest of the construction went smoothly. The knitted material is incredibly soft, but feels durable too. The button bands even blocked out-- a successful mini-sweater.
