XOXO

This was definitely a quick knit - only one week, as planned, almost no unraveling. The pattern was comparatively easy to memorize and follow and to keep me interested. I had some issues with the yarn (what's new :) - the two skeins had a very slight hue difference, hope it's not visible to the untrained eye, and then - I had only 200 g and I had to make it suffice. So, after I knitted the body, I weighed the remaining yarn, then knitted one of the sleeves up to bind off, weighed again, found out that I'll manage only just, so I started knitting the second sleeve from the other end of the skein without breaking the yarn. And for some obscure reason I knitted it so fast, as if trying to outrun the yarn. I was lucky (or perhaps it's due to my excellent maths skills - I'm so modest :), but 200 g were just enough.

EQUILIBRIUM

So, finally it's springtime and the peach under my window is flaunting its first blossoms.

Today is the equilibrium day and my qualms about Mony's sweater are finally settled - the monster sweater is ready.
Three times is a charm was the motto of this sweater - so I've knitted, and unraveled, and knitted, and unraveled, and knitted again - until every part of it - color combination, neckband, sleeves, wristbands, were done to satisfy my compulsion to perfection.

And if the sweater fits Mony eventually - that'll be a feast! :)
