a sweater for coraline

coraline has been dragged around by her hair for a while wearing nothing but a grubby old t-shirt grabbed from the beenster's "too stained to wear" pile. so, i thought i'd make her a sparkly star sweater just like in the movie. i'm knitting a strand of sinflex metallic in indigo along with some midnight heather briggs & little. the picture looks brighter than reality. i really like the way it is knitting up.



and, i got some silver sinflex to make stars to appliqué on once the sweater is done. here's my first attempt:



needs blocking, but not bad i think!
