Finally, vol. i

It's done! And, it is still 2006 (with two hours to spare). My final finished object for the year.



Halle-friggen-lujah!



This sweater had both highs and lows. It was tediously slow going and unbelievable quick. It was simple and hard. I thought the seaming was going to kill me. It didn't. Not quite anyway. It was my very first sweater so I am giving myself a little slack. Except for my photography skills in this picture ... it reminds me of a mug shot. I can't imagine what my head would have looked like if I hadn't cut it off!



There are a lot of things I don't like about this sweater. Like the fact that you can see my bra through it (as evident in all but two of the gazillion pictures I took). Or the sleeves, which have a linebacker look to them because they are both too low and too poofy. I mean, it could be worse. The sleeves could be different lengths.

As I said to Boo, I wouldn't buy this if I had tried it on in a store. But I'll wear it because I worked hard.
