Done! Every part done. All sewn up and woven in and on as we speak. The arms are too long but the body fits great. Its snuggly and warm and I love it. I'd make it again. The sewing up was so easy on the arms because of the decreasing at the sides of the arms and back and fronts. This pattern took me about a month and a week. I will have the grand unveiling on Wed. Now its on to Chirstmas knitting. I've already cast on for Mom's scarf. Wavy from Knitty,

Knitting portion (mostly) complete! I have to still knit up the neckband but that hardly counts. The ties are drying on the floor in my room, and the shoulders and sides are (mostly) sewn. I have to leave a gap in the side to figure out where to leave the smaller gap for the ties. The arms were sewn up ages ago and I've got to sew them in. Everything looks good so far. Its a bit shorter than I usually wear my sweaters, but its alpaca, it'll stretch. I want to give it a good washing when I'm done. The natural color probably shows all the dirt. I'm going to do it in a pillow case to minimize stretching. I still can't figure out were my missing 11 decreases came from but I threw a few extra in and everything came out fine.

Wow Battlestar Galactica! Another depressing show. The amazing show where nothing happy ever happens. But so good, But Doctor Who with little to no Doctor in it can kiss my ass. I was counting on The Doctor to cheer me up after watching Munich earlier. Wow, was that depressing. The high from finishing the sweater is keeping me on an even keel after all the depressing. That movie had me the closest I've come to throwing up in a while. And it gave me a headache. I did pause for a minute to enjoy Daniel Craig holding the gun all sexy. And him in the tight 70's jeans.

I also saw The Holiday today. I enjoyed it. I'm not a big fan of Jude Law, but I over came it. I think he is adorable and he has fantastic eyes but I just know he has been using that to his advantage all his life. He's just too cute for his own good.

What Kind of Knitter Are You?





You appear to be a Knitting Guru. You love knitting and do it all the time. While finishing a piece is the plan, you still love the process, and can't imagine a day going by without giving some time to your yarn. Packing for vacation involves leaving ample space for the stash and supplies. It can be hard to tell where the yarn ends and you begin.http://marniemaclean.com

Yall I can't believe you left me last week. I was so alone. I cried a little but I'm ok now.

I finshished the cabled part on the fronts and have moved on to the stockinette shaping. I'm making extra double sure that I make a left and a right this time. I'm going to do one section of shaping on one front and then the other. I decided that doing them on the same needle was askeing for trouble so I have moved one side to my straights.

I'm off to work. Yippee!
