DONE!!!!

[susandennis]

So. I wanted a warm, soft sweater that would hug my neck when needed but not choke me when not (so turtleneck out) and one I could wear something under or not and one that was big but didn't look like I bought the wrong size. But mainly, warm and soft and suitable to wear every day if I wanted.

And, here it is!



It works with thumbs in thumbholes or not. It's very soft and very warm and very comfortable. It's also riddled with errors. If anyone thinks I bought this at a store, they will think I'm the world's worse shopper!

Ravelry Dets

But, I'm very very pleased. (good thing cause that yarn cost a pretty penny!)...

Now... back to the bears!

It's fantastic! Nice work. I'm still daunted at the thought of knitting a sweater, so I stick to socks. :)

[susandennis]

Thank you and socks rock.

Seems like I've been working on it since the beginning of time. Thank you!

Gorgeous!

Thanks!

Very nice! I like the color too.

[susandennis]

I started out with a much darker color (which is hard to knit with) and I'm so glad I switched to this one. Thanks!

Nice sweater. I am always impressed by anyone who can knit. I am pretty handy and knitting is one of the few things I just can't seen to manage.

Your icon looks just like you.

[susandennis]

Thanks and thanks about the icon. I've had it for so many years, I think it's more that I've grown to look like it!

[mrdreamjeans.livejournal.com]

It's a wonderful color and looks great on you!

[susandennis]

Thank you!

Awesome! It's very becoming. Seems like just what you were aiming for.

[susandennis]

Thanks! You were on my mind yesterday. Grocery Outlet (4th Ave SODO) had 5 pound bags of crunchy M&M's!!

[slinkslowdown.livejournal.com]

Love it! The color's great and I love the design :)

[susandennis]

Thank you!

[nanila]

Oh wow, it looks so comfy, and what a great colour! Two thumbs up. :)

[susandennis]

It's going to be a soft, cozy winter here! Thanks!

Congratulations! It's beautiful!

[susandennis]

Thank you!

Looks lovely. Color's good, that neck looks perfect, and I am envious of the thumb holes. :D (for some reason many running jackets for women come with thumb holes, but almost none of the ones for men do) I've done one vest in the round, so I totally appreciate how much effort went into this. Good job!

[susandennis]

Thank you. I think all garments everywhere for men and women should have multiple pockets and thumb holes. We need legislation.

Looks great! Very cozy.

Thanks!

Good looking sweater, I'm jealous, only on sleeve #2 on mine.

[susandennis]

I hear ya. I do not have the patience to do sleeves individually. I knit them both at once. It's slower going but when you are done, you are done!
