Feeling Ecstatic
Hearing Book on tape
I finally finished my sweater. I used a pattern from a better homes and gardens magazine that
was for spring and summer. I changed the pattern slightly and found that making a swatch
was very important. I also didn't put the hood on the back of the sweater. I used peaches and
cream cotton yarn. You can't beat buying 20 skeins for .99 instead of for a few dollars/skien.
Plus the yarn was so fun to work with and since it varied colors on its own I didn't have to change
colors every few rows.
I had to pull out the sweater the first time I made it - I had about 50 rows left when I realized
the yarn would pull the sweater down to make it much longer and thinner than I needed. Then
while knitting in the airport I decreased stitches instead of increasing stitches on the one side of
the neck. I loved the fact that it was knit in one piece and then I stitched up the sides of the arms
and body. I am just so excited that it is finally finished. Yeah.
