Today I thought I'd share a super simple sweater decoration I just did on this lovely, but somewhat plain sweater I have.  It's cute but sort of washed too many times, and a little less crisp-looking than when it was new.  I have a pink sweater of a very lightweight wool that has ivory cotton lace around the neckline (it's from a resale store, but looks very Anthro to me), and though its lace is woven into the knit, it gave me the idea to add lace to any neckline!
So here's the plain sweater:

And here's how it looked after I added a little off-white cotton chunky lace to it, just hand-stitching all around the neck:

Takes it from preppy to funky-artsy-pretty, right?  Now I can pair it with a print skirt or chunky belt, and some cool jewelry!
