Well, I finished it. I finished it today in the midst of two dogs running around and a small child pretending to be a dog...so make that three. But in the midst of all that dogness, I finally completed the sweater I started in December. It's my second sweater and this one I made without any help! So that was very satisfying. The little one has been watching me make it from the very beginning and has been patiently (and sometimes not so patiently) waiting for it to be done.
It was a sweet moment when I finished it this afternoon and she came over and excitedly said, "It's really finished mama?! Really?!!! Can I wear it now?!" Oh man, so super sweet. So she put it right on. I didn't get any action shots of it, but I will soon enough. She picked out the yarn color...a "mermaid green" which was a refreshing choice after all the purple we've experienced the last two years.
I still have to block it, but for now it's still looking good and keeping her extra toasty in this crazy cold weather we've been having. Next up? A fancy scarf for mama from this book!
All notes on the sweater are here!
(Oh, and I'm SO not sore from spinning last night. BUT...I will be after the step aerobics class I took tonight with the same pal. Man, it kicked my butt!)
