In Under the Wire

I signed up for the UFOlympics this year, because I have a couple sweaters which I started early last year that I haven't touched in months.


In order to have a relatively clean slate for resuming work on UFOs, I managed to finish the last row & bind off on my Green Mirage sweater early Friday morning.

I was glad that I decided on 3/4th sleeves, because I ran fairly short on yarn by the end.




I LOVE how it turned out. I definitely plan to knit this sweater again in a completely different yarn -- perhaps a silk/wool blend that I can wear in the wintertime.

It's kind of awkward trying to take my own sweater-modeling pictures, so this is the best I can do for now. The yarn hanging down the front is because I didn't want to cut the last piece until after I'd checked the fit of the neckline.
