wray
Only about 6 weeks late but she got there in the end. This is Wray – Lily’s Ravelympics project.
Knitted in a 2-ply laceweight from The Yarn Yard this certainly kept her occupied for a while!
Who knew that something so simple looking could require so much design effort? Keeping the various widths of rib on track really tested her.
We are hoping that Lily will be able to get this sized up and available on Ravelry, but it’ll be her first real attempt at a multi-sized pattern so it could take a little while to get to that stage. I haven’t the faintest idea how to tackle this so I’ll be on the look out for a Tech Editor to help us out.
In the by now traditional manner, Wray is named after a scenic Cumbrian location – Wray Castle. The photographs were taken in front of the gatehouse shown here.
We did get some rather strange looks from the locals though! 
But then again we’ve never shied away from shocking folks for the knitting cause!
Wray is beautiful!! Excellent work as usual Lily!
Simply stunning photos Amanda! Lily’s design is just gorgeous, maybe I can knit one for Isabelle after I finish some other projects!
So beautiful! I love how delicate it is. The whole outfit is lovely!
I love it. I’ve been thinking a lot about knitting cardigans at a teeny gauge because of how delicate and lovely they turn out and here is a perfect example. This looks like it was well worth all the extra effort.
Your photographs show Lily’s gorgeous design and knitting so beautifully. You two are a great pair! Beautiful sweater, Lily. Well done, as usual!

It’s adorable! Well done Lily!
Ok… Lily is amazing! She’s my new hero!
Awesome design Lily! I want one
This design is gorgeous ! Lily , you are totally amazing ! I so admire your designing and knitting skills !
Wow! Its lovely! Great job, Lily!
I have just found your blog, though I have been admiring Lily’s work for a while. ( now I can admire yours as well) I have a daughter a little older who knits well – but isn’t obsessive like Lily. I was at that age though in a house of non knitters there wasn’t that much ecouragment. Lily is lucky she has you but, she is a talented young lady and I suspect will be as good as the likes of ysolda in a couple of years whether she has negative comments from people or not. Keep showing us her work knitting or other wise. Elenya is also about to do photography gcse early which camera did you buy for Lily?
Woooooooow, this is gorgeous! And Lilly is looking quite stunning in the photos, if I may add!
I loooove the little detail on the sleeves!
Good luck with tackling upsizing, I can’t even conceptualize how that works… ; )
Wow! Lily did a great job on Wray. It’s absolutely gorgeous and the color is stunning. Love the photos. Beautiful girls, way to go!!
Wow! What a beautiful design! Gorgeous pictures!
It’s stunning! I love all the details from the flared edge, cap sleeves, sweet buttons! Congratulations on a wonderful design and a beautiful project!
Beautifully done! A true accomplishment
This is just gorgeous, and my oh my isn’t Lily growing fast, she’s a beautiful young lady. I SO would like to knit this pattern for myself, it’s so delicate and feminine looking. Great job Lily – you are amazing
Oh my goodness – no wonder that took a while – it’s amazing, so delicate and just beautiful touches with the sleeve shape and gentle flaring – fantastic work and looks wonderful on Lily

Amazing work, stunning result and beautiful photos. I especially adore the edging, it looks so fine and flattering, beautiful!

(Think I wrote a strange website URL in my first reply.)
Lily you never cease to amaze me!! I cannot believe you designed this yourself!! It is just perfect in every way, and looks so gorgeous on you. The color is also perfect, and Amanda your photography is again awesome. You two make such a good team. Sending you hugs from South Africa!!

.
Lily did an absolutely wonderful job! Congratulations!
Wow, another great design from Lily! I especially love the edging…just perfect!
Oh my, this is wonderful! And Lily, you’re turning into a young woman — when did that happen? Congratulations on a fabulous design — using a fine fiber at a slightly larger than usual gauge gives it such a lovely effect. Like everyone else, I am *SO* impressed.
Yowza! What a knockout!! The sweater, the designer, and the young woman.
All those wonderful, light, little details. The frilly hem, the subtle rib, the curled button band and those adorable little sleeves. Even the little skirt the sweater is paired has those sweet carousel horses!
There just aren’t enough compliments.
This is seriously the most beautiful knit I’ve seen anywhere for a long time. I really hope Lily decides to publish this one. Beautiful!
Wow the sweater is darling! Lily outdid herself once again and this is perfect for spring weather. Lily is also growing into a beautiful young lady. Excellent job, Lily!
Perfection. I love it. Lily has done it again!
Another beautiful design from Lily. And she looks so sophisticated in the photo.
Stunning. Like always. Good job Lily!
Fantastic. Fabulous. Awesome! What a beautiful job on this dreamy sweater Lily. Will be looking out for the pattern for sure! Love the sweet little buttons and the ruffled edge.
wonderful. I want one…it looks perfect for summer evenings and cool summer days. Lily, you are so talented…best of all to you1
What a stunning little sweater!!! I cannot wait for the pattern. I have a bunch of laceweight in my stash in the very same colour…

Hooray for Lily!
Lovely work!! I love the sleeves and ruffly edge. Lily is a very talented designer!
Awesome design!!!! Wonderful work Lily. I think I may be a candidate for this one.
Great job, Lily! This is wonderful.
Found you via Sam(Sticks, Strings and Crafty Things). You have such a beautiful, elegant blog. Lily is wonderful and your knitting is precious. I too am enthralled with this complete outfit. The carosel horses are lovely with Wray. I love the colors. Stunning.
Très joli ce cardigan et si joliment porté par une si gracieuse jeune fille. Bravo Lily, this is wonderful !
Absolutely wonderful!!!!
Beautiful Lily! You are one talented young lady!
Wowee Lily looks like you in these pictures Amanda!
Gorgeous work as always Lily, you are an inspiration, miss you at knitting!
Awaiting the pattern! Stunning!
Wow! Wow! Wow! i can’t say enough about this… the color selection, the stitch details. I (stupidly) thought this was from a pattern and was in awe of her ability, now I’m just stunned… floored…. Simply fabulous Lily.
Only two month’s late to the party as it were – but felt I had to comment on this as it is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. I am full of admiration. It is one of those designs that looks so simple and elegant and yet you know that there are all manner of tricky details in there – I love the sleeves and the flare of the main body.
Looking forward to seeing this pattern published!
Absolutely lovely! I can’t wait to knit this pattern once it is avail. to the public. Awesome work I love to see such passion and determination in such a young knitter!
So very beautiful. Looking forward to the pattern beign available to buy! Well done.
Be prepared to get even more great compliments on this lovely project. I was so inspired by Lily’s knitting and your great photography that I linked this project in a Ravelry forum. Talented ladies…both of you!
