So a quicky update. Ya, uh, Fawne is officially in a plastic bag and pointedly being ignored (I did refrain from flipping it off... which I think shows remarkable restrain on my part). However, I haven't given up hope... yet.
Instead I'm trying to finish a birthday gift for Matt. Um, do you remember this sweater?

oh ya, I'm using a recycled photo for blog interest purposes!! That sweater has been in production for 8 years (if I were still a production coordinator, I would blame the author for not getting proofs back to me). I don't really dig knitting fair isle and someone went and lost a whole bunch of weight after I had cast it on. So it had to be restarted. I originally started with the 53" finished size, then I restarted it with the smallest size: 44". Ya, it's probably still too large, but he'll have to deal with it.
Anyway, we discussed his upcoming birthday, and this is all he asked for. He wants this sweater done (as he loves it). So the body is done (obviously) and I have one sleeve just about done. I'll finish that sleeve today. Maybe even get the second one cast on. However... it's going to be warm today and wool and hot muggy weather don't always mix.
Ouch -- Cindy -- that is so frustrating about Fawne!! I hope you can at least finish Matt's sweater in time for his birthday, to get victory with one project!
ReplyDeleteThe sweater is beautiful. It's going to look great when it's done.
ReplyDeleteThat sweater's amazing! I don't suppose I can put in a cheeky request for the pattern (or ask where you might find it)? My email's aliceinwonderland1986@hotmail.com
