I spent the last week working for the law school. 300 second-year students were learning how to put on trials in a week long program. Lawyers came from around the country to teach them. The first years, like me, worked the event as videographers, baliffs, and escorts to the several hundred high schoolers that served as jurors. Throughout the week, I had LOTS of knitting time during cross examinations and closing arguments to finish my purple sweater.
While I've made other cool things in the past, sometimes they
didn't fit perfectly, some
didn't need to fit, and some where
downright disastrous. This time, I think I've made something to be proud of.

| Awesome, right? It fits like a glove (or rather, like a well-fitting sweater). The only problem I can see is that the left sleeve appears to be slightly longer than the right. Or my right arm is longer than the left...it is unclear. |

| Both sleeves grew quite a bit in the washing anyway, so I think I will just redo the sleeve on the left one to make it the same length as the right. Or I will just leave it as proof that it is handmade when people don't believe it isn't store bought. |

| Me celebrating the fact that everything I own is purple. |

| Booty shot. Look at that fit! |
One of my co-workers told me, "It looks like you bought it at a store." I told him to bite me. My million-hours-to-make sweater looked way better than store-bought.
