The final accomplishment of slightly more than half of a singular endeavor

[pruneduchess]

I finished the body of my sweater! Still have to: block, add buttons, weave in ends, and add sleeves. But I feel a sense of accomplishment nonetheless. Here's a first look - it can be worn lots of different ways but here's one. So excited:

thanks! from my vogue knitting stitch a day calendar.

i know that aside from being pretty a sweater is a metric ton of work

[maria_sputnik]

my knitter boyfriend was just lying on the floor reading vogue yesterday!

not nearly as bad as I was anticipating. a month or so of knitting in talks and at bars.

It's pretty awesome the way it is!

[pruneduchess]

ya i think i'll leave it sleeveless through summer and then knit the sleeves on for fall maybe? i don't know. thanks:)

It works pretty well as a wrap.

[pruneduchess]

except i have to keep my hand there all the time for it not to be a big hot mess.

I like it with the black and white ends not woven in, it looks like a tallit.

[pruneduchess]

Ha! You're right!
