“This sweater is a Beautiful work of art. I wll always cherish it & enjoy it!”

This sweater took my breath away! Ive had my desires to have it for a long time....ever since I 1st saw it in the Novica magazine. Its price was too much for me then but I checked on it every once in awhile. Them...my good fortune wish came true and it was listed as on sale. My dream sweater became affordable and I was just thrilled! It truly is SO beautiful and I am SO pleased to be able to enjoy this beautiful (& warm, especially with alpacs woven into the wool!!) piece of art!! Sandy
