Notes

The horrible blurry pictures are due to the fact I took them myself and under an artificial light. Will try to get something more decent up ASAP.

IT’S FINISHED. I still have to tweak one armhole that is not totally symmetric with the other (because I am anal this way) and first buy and then sew in place the ribbon I intend to cover the sleeve and armhole steeks with but I am marking this finished because it it perfectly wearable as it is also now. Took only 3 years and 9 months to finish…


24.03.2008 - one more flower and then STEEKS.
30.03.2008 - began steeks yesterday. I divided the motifs 3+steek+2+steek and hope that the back will not be too stretched…
16.04.2008 - I am afraid to continue because I have only 2 rows to go and then I have to cut the steeks.
26.06.2008 - Steeks are cut, it fits perfectly. Began the sleeves praying my yarn will be enough.
26.02.2010 I am SICK of this project. I really am. I run out of yarn, then frogged the half-done sleeves, now I am half-way up again. Planned to finish it in Estonia but run out of yarn again and, as it happens, not the one I could have had with no problems. Well, I intend to finish it but it seems it will be ready in August when it’s nice and hot here, very appropriate for a 100% wool sweater…
12.03.2010 FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK. I have to reknit the body. Yep, the whole body.

10.11.2011
Finished knitting, cut the armohole and neck steeks. Armholes are clearly too big so I have to cross my fingers the sleeves are too large also - other than that, it fits, I just have to re-knit the body edging because it curls like mad. Dear God, does it mean I will actually FINISH the bugger?

9.12.2011
All steeks cut. Sleeves partly re-knit because they were too small. Sleeves set in (have to fiddle with armholes but it’s not a big deal). I am THIS CLOSE to finishing!!!
