« Some pairs of socks take just a week or two to make. | Main | I've still been knittin' up a storm, can you believe it!! »

First I finished those socks.

And then I finished this sweater!!!

O.M.G. this sweater is finally done.

Just three please.

One-button option.

All buttoned up.

You can click any of the pictures to go through to Flickr and hear the loooooong saga of knitting this sweater. It took me three years total from start to finish but, as with the socks, total knitting time was only a very small portion of that -- probably in the region of two or three weeks. Apparently I just needed to leave a good six month break between each period of working on it heh.

Yay! AT LAST ;) Looks great - was trying to work out why different from mine (apart from the crazy buttons) and realised it is collarless. Are you relieved?!

LOVE IT!! I love the buttons, I love the collarlessness, the wide bands, everything. It's awesome and makes me want to dress like you.

Super cute! It also looks like a great fit. More spring break productivity for you - craftwise.
