Here is my completed Twinflower for my sister, Teresa, as a slighlty late birthday present. I selected Knit Picks Stroll Sport in the Holly Berry colorway because Teresa prefers machine washable yarns. I used my size 5 (3.75 mm) Addi Lace fixed needles for the body and my size 4 (3.50 mm) Addi Lace fixed needles for the hem and the cabled neckband. The set-in sleeves were a bit of a challenge, and Amy Herzog has a helpful blog about setting in sleeves here. I also made a sample of a sewn hem and a knitted together hem, and the sewn hem looked much nicer. I found some heel reinforcing yarn in a similar color at Fibre Space for sewing the hems down. I will mail it tomorrow and I certainly look forward to hearing how it fits.

Wow, looks great. Love the color. You have done a beautiful job especially on all the little details - the sewn hem looks so nice.
