Notes

06Sept09: I finished it during a photo shoot for Classic Elite in Maine… surprisingly I was the only model who knitted! I’m happy with it, though the sleeves could be longer as they creep up with use. I might crochet a border on them later. Chunky, so not entirely well-fitted, but unbelievably warm over any dress.

It all started with an absolutely ridiculous sale on Big Wool at Smiley’s yarn… $1.99?? How do they do this? Anyway, look forward to more Big Wool projects on the way, I bought a lot. Nothing like a quick knit in this amazingly warm yarn. I’m using a variegated yarn, but it’s surprisingly subtle, a dark pink + light pink combo… very pretty. I’m worried it will be too short, let’s see.
