It is so soft n smooth!

The wool sweater for my MIL is finally DONE~ woo hoo! I have it washed once and it feels so soft and smooth now dear! Really cant wait to give it to my MIL and I hope it wont be too big tho. There is a huge difference before and after washed!!! can you see it from the pictures?The bigger picture is the BEFORE garment and you can actually see all the bumps at the lace patterns. But its like paper flat smooth after had it washed. I got some decent shell buttons for it. Again, it is so nice to touch and i GUess its nice to be wear in cold weather! And again... when can i go back to my hubby ? sooner? dont think so! =(
