The hem is sewn down and it's ready to soak and block! This photo shows the pre-blocked state. Notice the back of the neck is taller and the back of the hem is longer. Thanks to Meg and EZ, I won't have the front of the neck strangling me or the back of the sweater riding up! Dalaukala left a comment on my previous post with a very interesting question. The question? Why am I knitting the sweater so fast......I have started so many projects, got bored, put them to the side and then tried to remember how to finish them much, much later.
I had always wondered how long it would take me to actually work on just one project and finish it. I knit an Orenburg shawl many moons ago, by Galina, and kept track of how many hours/minutes it took me to knit it.....a little over 87 hours!
So here I am knitting a sweater, for me, for THIS winter......and I was very curious how soon I could get it done. I am a quick knitter to begin with.....and soooo.....now I know that I can knit a 42" sweater in 7 days!

Absolutely incredible! It's beautiful, too. But your speed!!! My eyeballs are popping out of my head!!!
ReplyDeleteI think speed is wonderful, but the most important thing is the enjoyment, both during the construction and then during the wearing. I think you have both all wrapped up!
Congratulations give yourself a pat on the back!
ReplyDeleteStunning work!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sweater and congratulations on your monogamous knitting! I didn't even know that such a thing was possible.
