THE Miss Lemon sweater - Part 1 - Planning...

I have long been an admirer of  Miss Lemon.
Especially as portrayed by Pauline Moran in the Poirot series.
(The one with David Suchet as Poirot. The ONLY one in my humble opinion.)

This is a character with brains, style, & class.
Not to mention terrific knitwear.
But, I just did.
So...

I've been invited to a Literary Ball coming up in February.

We are asked to come dressed as our favorite literary character.

As I've been itching to make THE Miss Lemon sweater - 

she was the first character that leapt to mind!

While I should be in the knitting phase of this project I'm still only in the planning phase.

(Plus, I'm still working on my sister Aimee's cabled sweater.)

Pinterest has proven a very valuable asset in this endeavor.

I just order the yarn. Knit Picks Palette in serrano.

They didn't have just plain red in this weight of yarn.

So now I've started to fret that the color is going to be all wrong

when I see it in person instead of on my computer screen.

{Rolls eyes at herself}

Anyway!

It should be a pretty easy knit.

I plan to just wing it as far as patterns go.

I'll just make a plain cardigan & worry about how to do the bit with the bow when I come to it.

(I can't worry about everything beforehand.) ;)
