THANK YOU LORD JESUS!!!!!
IT'S DONE! Oh my lord, it's done. It fits. THE FUCKING PURPLE SWEATER IS DONE! Purple Agony will torture me no more!
Okay, so there's still some end weaving in to be done, and I have to fix a few misshapen stitches and ladders and things like that. The fiddly stuff is, to be honest, probably gonna take me a while to clean up. But the point is that after over a month of work, I finally have this sweater complete. No more ripping out and re-knitting.
There are a few things that are less than 100% perfect. (Remember my post about Nockers?) The neckline isn't quite as revealing as I wanted it to be. I could almost (almost!) wear it without anything under it. Heck, I probably could if I was wearing a demi bra and I was really careful. The picked up stitches along the neckline don't look quite as nice as I would have liked. The sleeves are a hair too long, and the fit on the back is a hair off. But these things are minor enough that I'm willing to let them go. The point is that the damn thing is finished at last, and it looks pretty fucking good.
Once all of the ends and things are woven in and the piece is taken to full finished state, I'll post a picture.
