Notes

2010.04.12 - I’ve changed my mind on the pattern. Instead of a February Lady Sweater, I’m going to go with Oblique. I envision this being a more presentable sweater to wear to work. I might revisit the February Lady sweater again in the future.

2010.04.23 - Almost a week off of work due to Tonsilitis and I’ve almost got a sweater! Started the sleeves yesterday. There’s steaming, seaming and lots of twisted ribbing in my future but I’ll be wearing this sweater yet.

2010.05.21 - I’m declaring this sweater officially finished! Still a few ends to work in and buttons to buy/put on. But the sweater fits and is super awesome. I love it! For the record I may have laughed maniacally during the seaming process. Real pictures to follow the button selection and addition process.

2010.06.06 - Finally put the buttons on and took some proper pictures of the finished sweater. I’m super happy with this one. It fits how I like and I really feel like this will get worn a ton. I think (fingers crossed) that I’ve knit my way past the bad sweater days. At least I hope so. It’s probably one of those things. Like you have to get all the bad abstracts or improvisations out of your system before the good ones start coming.
