I knit all evening, and during church this morning, and during my meeting this afternoon, but look, I finished my sweater! I can't say I enjoyed having to knit FOUR sleeves for this sweater, but I'm really pleased with the fit I got in the end. I also found myself wishing I'd woven in ends… Continue reading i did it!!
