Two done!

I finished a sweater for Nora on the weekend and a dress for Cairo. Well, that's not quite true. ...they both need snaps! LOL

But anyway, I used the same, unmarked ball of yarn for both, which is a nice, light laceweight. I always start out with such good intentions, keeping the yarn and label together...then after a couple projects the label mysteriously disappears. (Later to be found being used as a bookmark or a cat toy, of course!)

I've only got a picture of the one, which needs to be re-blocked:

I used Dollswest Designs's free pattern (#8) with the stitch count for the smaller size, and the row count of the larger size.  And then added a few rows more on the body to get the length I wanted.  :)
