Latest 3 garments

I have completed these 3 garments in the last month. I can't believe how quickly I am making things. The first sweater is made from double knitting wools and 3.5 and 4mm needles. Took me about a week to complete. This is the pattern.



I made this one a couple of weeks ago on 4 and 5mm needles with light grey double knit wool. The pattern was from the April 2012 Woman's Weekly Home series  Knitting and Crochet Special. 
I made this one for me. I like the wave pattern. I used some left over double knit wool in blues. I regret not completing the top part in a darker blue. Here is the original pattern that I modified on the sleeves. I painted some old brown buttons with blue nail varnish to match the cardi. Recycling at it's best!
