catching up again...there's a lot going on personally and with family and we've been pretty overwhelmed.
anyway...
seen here getting ready to go get brunch, and then groceries, etc, back on the 7th.
i just finished this sweater, it's the "swing pullover/bell sleeve turtleneck sweater" from knit simple's fall 2010 issue (ravelry link). i've been crazy obsessed with garter stitch for a while. and the color yellow. so i pretty much did this one exactly as shown on the cover/in the mag.
this was a ridiculously fun and easy knit, but their instructions for finishing the neck area (in my opinion) are incomplete in the pattern as written. wrote them. unsurprisingly, got no reply. finished it my own way. whatever.
i'm calling it my "ronald mc big bird sweater". :P that said i love it so. might make it in say, gray someday. it's crazy cozy and comfortable but does weigh half a squillion pounds.
