I finally finished what I started two years ago, and I had promised to my mom I'd have finished for her in less then a year....in the end it took a little over two years, and I am proud of what i did though I still don't and never did like the sweater itself, any comments??

You are an inspiration. How amazing your talent is. I am loving seeing all the wonderful things you have created. Keep it up. It is time I challenged myself with something more difficult that shawls, scarves, hats, gloves and socks.
Thank You,

What an amazing piece of fiber art. You are a greatly gifted knitter. I don't think I would have been able to accomplish what you have mastered. Your mother should be so proud. If I was the person getting the sweater, I don't know that I would wear it because it's so beautiful.

Yeah my mom is exstatic, it's actually a depiction of her favourite painting, you know 'The Dreamer' by Picasso, and I guess it did sort of work out.

If someone had described

If someone had described this sweater to me, I don't think I would have liked the concept, but seeing the picture, I am truly impressed with how beautiful it is. Excellent work both from a technical and artistic perspective.

Does your mom like it?

Isn't that funny...I'd rather boil and eat my own head than knit lace (or fine socks), but I love colour work.
