Emily is finished, with no yarn to spare! During seaming I found a few mistakes – it would seem that somehow I knit an extra garter ridge in the lower edging on one side. But I don’t care. Because this sweater is finally finished, and I will not have it hanging over my head any longer. Don’t get me wrong – it’s lovely and looks great on (modeled photos as soon as I can get Marc home during daylight hours!) but it was such a slog to knit. How much of a slog? It took me about the same amount of time it took to knit as Thermal… a sweater that was made with fingering weight yarn in an allover stitch pattern. I don’t usually have a hate on for stockinette, so I don’t know what the deal was…
Final details when I have photos!
Now I can go dream about what will come next, and knit Marc’s scarf. It is time for that piece to be finished, or he will have a cold neck all winter (we have only now reached what he would call scarf weather.)
