Sweater!!



...and now, the sweater!  It was perfect, if not a little more roomy than expected.  I actually ended up shortening the pattern by 3-4 inches because it was starting to look huge.  I simulated the folding by safety pinning what I had already done, accounting for the 2" ribbing I needed to do and tried it on.  Crikey, I did need to stop!  It was nearly too long!  It's still roomy enough to pin in the front when it gets cooler but totally breezy enough to wear in case I get caught in a too-well air-conditioned building.  It's cotton so it's heavier than normal but I like a little weight.  It sometimes tries to slip off my shoulders but that's a minor element of design flaw.
