I'm not quite happy with it but I might be if I could ever wear it. The day after I finshed it the temp shot up to 76° and is supposed to be near 80 for the next week. It's still winter for God's sake. Anyway, I think it makes me look wierd or maybe that's the camera My husband is the worst photographer ever, he nver takes any time fix things, he could at least have told me to suck in my middle aged belly. Here it is for better or worse.

About a month of knitting in

About a month of knitting in the evenings two or three hours a night. I was knitting with size 3 needles mind you, so a thicker yarn would move along much faster.

Thank you everyone - the

Thank you everyone - the compliments feel good after a day of keeping the wolves at bay. Evidently its going to be in the 80s for the foreseeable future so no sweatervest.... probably not until next winter. I'm starting another one for Ralf, my husband, but inClassic Elite's Firefly a viscose linen blend in "cedar" which is an olive color, very versitile. I'm hoping he'll want to wear it year round.

Both you and the sweater look great!!! You did a great job on the ribbing around the armholes and neck. It was fun to watch it grow!
