And if you don’t believe me, here’s the previous picture I took of it:

I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking it looks like some hoosier v-neck t-shirt with the sleeves ripped off. Be not afraid, I would never wear something like that in public with you. I would never put you in the situation of me asking “What do you think of my hand-knit sweater? It took me hours upon hours to complete” and you would say “… wow, it’s really… great.” Once I finish the body of the sweater I knit the sleeves on, and then I add a ribbed edging to the collar and bottom of the sweater. No worries. In the end it’s supposed to look like this:

A couple of observations:

1. Stockinette in the round for a sweater really is kind of boring
2. But at least it’s brainless and I can knit even while watching Lost
3. Knitting a sweater in one piece does get kind of heavy and unwieldy, I can understand why travelling knitters knit sweaters in pieces

Hey do you like the new della Q bag I’m keeping the sweater in?

Thanks for the well-wishes on the blog-birth-versary! Just paid the renewals$! I guess I’ll keep it up for awhile :)
