WHEN SWEATERS ATTACK!!!

I finally had it out with my brother’s sweater today. I was determined to finish it, and it wanted no part of that. Things got ugly.

And finally I was able to bring it around to my point of view.

Yes, it’s finished. It’s not blocked yet, and obviously not draping on me the way it will on my darling baby brother (who’s more than a foot taller than me) but here it is. Done. At long last. Whew!

  1. LOL! It looks like you had quite a struggle! Are you OK? All I can say is that your brother must be enormous! That is one huge-ass sweater!

    I started a mini-ringel sock today — loving it!
