Holy crap! I am on a roll!
Why?
Yes! It is! A FINISHED SWEATER!!!!!!
I have been so jealous of everyone lately finishing up sweaters and such that well, I just had to do it myself.
I think I started this during the summer. I finished it this weekend. All I needed to finish was the sleeves. Let's take a closer look at the sleeves:
Huzzah! ARRRRRRGGGGG! AVAST! And all that. Yes it's the skull pattern from Hello Yarn. I think I should post this over at the along
Now, let's see, the specs are a little vague:
Pattern: Top down cardigan pattern from Glampyre (sorry no link - I am being lazy)I decided to keep it a pull over
Yarn: Uh, um, dunno. But it's 100% Wool (Candide I think) it's got a bit of the barn in it you know.
Needles: US size 8 circulars and dpn
It is a little snug, but I love it! Thanks you Carol for taking my picture at work! (note to the boss: it was at lunch....)

Oooh, your comment about Columbus Bakery brought me right back there. How the flour would get up your nose. The warm dryness of the place. And the smell... I also always bought at least 2 loaves, for the same reason! Yup Juju is a pal. But I have seen her less since I've been 5 days a week at the office and 0 days at LYS. She's taken over my day there! Yup she made those socks, last year for the knit olympics. Good luck.

That sweater is fabulous! I would never have the courage to make myself a garment for fear it would never fit. Great job!!!
