I received a comment this week that said, "Interesting blog. I'll come back whenever I am in the mood for headless portraits and cookie pics". I laughed out loud!
I am SO happy this sweater is finished. I mentioned the finishing being a major problem for me with this project. I actually think that I would have mentally preferred if the shawl collar would have been in a category all to itself. You know what I mean? Because, by the time I make it to the FINISHING section of a pattern, I feel as if I am nearly finished. Not that I have another week (at least) to invest in a project. I know you know what I mean.
Other than that, this project was a dream. A lot of stockinette. Perfect.
Of course, my favorite feature is the pocket. Keys, lens cap, phone. The yarn is seriously delicious and makes it super warm. I will get a lot of use out of it as a "coat".

The silly putty came out with goo gone! (Thanks to all who suggested that.) My friend, Jan, recommended that I knit a swatch, stick silly putty to it, spray with goo gone, and wash. PERFECT idea. It worked, so I never had to give it another thought while knitting. Thank you, Jan.
