Shit!!! I am going to be in sooooo much trouble. Hoping he won't notice. Yeah. What are the chances of that?? Tablecloth? Steak? Whiskey? Hooker twins? Load the table with crap from now on? Fuckfuckfuck. Sooooooooo much trouble.
Blocked (obviously and distractedly so) and hemmed and tried on. Maybe even worth the sacrifice of the dining room table. All that's left are sleeves and the border around the front. And, as you can see, a little end weaving.
After a few alternate ideas, I went back to the hem at the bottom. It suits the shape of the sweater better than any of the other options, it adds a little flare, and it makes a nice transition out of the lace. So I'm hoping you don't mind a little seaming.
I'm also considering giving Debbie Bliss another chance in my future stash repetoire. My last few projects with her yarns were an experiment in knot hiding and pissed me off greatly, but this Rialto has been amazing. It's soft and springy, has a teeny sheen to it, and is amazing to work with. And although not exactly issue free, I'm willing to give on two weird bits in 7 skeins. At least for this stuff I am. Because I've tried it on -- and it's light and soooooft too.
Hoping to show you the whole thing in a day or so - :-)
Unless I'm sanding the table and refinishing. That could delay things.
