Back to my sweater I have FINALLY finished the body! I actually really like how it came out. It isn't my best look, I'm still looking for that! Anyway I went to String Thing Shop on Sunday and I took the first 45 minutes that I was there and cast off the body! I than hid in the bathroom to try it on. Praying like crazy that it would fit! And it did! :)
These photos were taken at the Museum by Jill. Who I would like to thank for taking them! :) You rock! I'm hoping that with sleeves, a collar and blocking the seater will look better. I'm also hoping with makeup, a hair brush and better jeans I'll look better wearing the sweater! Heres to hoping!
As I said I didn't do any knitting till tonight when I picked up the sleeve stitches. With that came my big decision. Long or short sleeves. I went with longer than the pattern calls for and not an actual 3/4 length. I don't really like my arms and try to keep them covered at all times. Soon though I'll be finished the first sleeve and than I'll make a second add a collar and this will be a completed sweater for me. Which will be a first and mean that this blog is a success! Now that I'm so close I've been looking for something new to make. I like the one above A LOT! It is from the original Big Girl Knits which I've been trying to find for over a year! Than at Barnes and Noble on Sunday my friend Brenda found it! (Good find Bren!) So now I do believe that I have every book with plus sized patterns in it! lol

I finally went to STS last night, and you weren't there :( I hear you smell like llama poop though, so maybe it's just as well! :P
