A monster grows in Brooklyn

I’ve been all about the Muppet monster lately. My brother’s sweater? My mom’s sweater? Those baby gifts? Off to the side, baby. I want a new sweater for fall. I’m three ribby turtleneck inches away from casting off. Then some quick underarm grafting (oh, how I hate to graft) and I’ll have a shiny new monster to wear. Woohoo, I say!

One potential problem that may keep me from adoring it and wearing it to death: I wanted it to be a big, roomy top-layer layering piece, so I designed it with lots of ease. I think I gave it too much ease. It’s damn boxy when I slip it over my head. I’m tempted to shrink it a bit. I might just do that.

I have a big job due tomorrow, so most of today will be dedicated to that. It should only take a work break or two to finish this beast up, though. So…should all go according to plan, there’ll be FO pics tomorrow.
