I actually finished one of my sweater projects! It's the unseamly sweater from the Happy Hooker book. I made it out of Sensations Rainbow (a brushed acrylic yarn) About halfway through the waist shaping I accidentally started working the instructions for size small rather than medium, so it's, uh, a bit snug around the chest... sweatdrop Still I feel very proud of myself. Now maybe I'll finish he other two sweaters that I'm working on...

Also as the yarn I bought came in giant skeins I have a ton left over (I had to buy two, but I still have the better part of the second one left) I'm thinking of making something for my cat out of it as he took every opportunity that he could to curl up in this yarn. Possibly a kitty bed.

wai~! I'm so proud of you phishy!

That yarn is gorgeous! heart Your sweater looks really good. 3nodding

And its actually cold enough where you are for it to be practicle to make sweaters. 3nodding over here, i can never convince myself to do it, cause i have the only 2 sweaters i'll ever need. sweatdrop one zip-up, one over-the-head. I can't wear sweaters that i don't take off part way through the day, its too warm, even in winter.

Ooh, that looks great. I hope I'll knit/crochet a sweater someday. It's just a matter of finding a good pattern and affording the yarn. More of the latter than the former, though. sweatdrop

Congratulations on finishing the sweater! It's lovely. I have yet to start one because I know I'd never finish it anyway.

Ha ha... yeah... everyone here is talking about how warm it's been, and by that we mean that it's been in the 40s.

Anyhow, much thanks everyone mrgreen
