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.
It jumped me.
We wrestled around a bit.
I gave it a good talking to.
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!
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!

Man, WWF meets Knitting Maven. Equal match, good moves, chalk up another one for the knit world. Looks OK on you, but can we get a shot of the manly body it’s intended for?? I mean in the sweater, or not!! Got to get cheap thrills where we can!! LOL!
