I am jumping for joy because I am finally finished with this sweater! I LOVE it, but I HATED working on it! It was from Vogue Knitting, and I have to say the pattern was not fun to follow. At all. I put this project in a time out for about a month or two and it sat in the corner of my living room giving me dirty looks. It could see me as I worked on other, far more exciting, projects. I could feel its sinister glare as I happily knitted and crocheted delightful items in its presence. Now, I’ve told ya’ll before that this room I crochet and knit in is haunted (see my blog if you haven’t done so yet) but I think, that I have added one more ghost to the room, “The Cursed Ghost Of The Cowichan Sweater” who shall forever haunt my room in search of hands to finish knitting it. I thought, that by finally finishing it I could lift the curse, but I still feel an ominous presence with me! bahahaha!

I feel like this pattern was written very lazily. I am figuring it out, but there is a little more head scratching than need be. I know they labeled it difficult, but with a few additions to the wording it could very easily be a very simple and fast pattern, it really isn’t that hard!

I am mostly done with the first sleeve but I hate working on this so much I am having a hard time completing it. UGH.

I finally took this project out of its time out. I’m not really enjoying it. And I think that is why it wound up in a timeout in the first place. It was not fun. The directions were okay, but required me to read them a couple times in some places. I absolutely hated the collar!
