I feel like a friggin' genius. This is a ridiculous feeling because the basic skills needed to knit forty-four inches of straight stockinette stitch are less difficult than to, say, ride a bike. But then again, I fell off my bike the other day...three times in ten minutes, actually...
You've been hearing me complain about my Never-Ending Sweater (also known as the Lion Brand Speckled Shrug) here and here and here and here.
In fact, Ravelry tells me that I started this project in September, meaning that I worked on this thing for nine months before I was finally able to weave in the ends. Holy crap. It's been to two births, four concerts, to Atlanta, Indiana, DC, Marland, Virgina, and New York, to I-don't-know-how-many movies and get-togethers and countless bars and restaurants. Basically, this sweater had a long and interesting life before it even became a sweater.
So now, please appreciate the following gratuitous chest shots (middle picture is closer to what the real colors are like):
It is a little baggy in the back (a shawl pin will fix that right up), but I really like the way I took a big rectangle and just sewed two edges together to make the sleeves.
REALLY warm wool, and it is, you know, 92 degrees out. So, I am going to go take it off and drink a bottle of water now.
