After ripping three times, I finally got it right.

Now all I need is for Great Gran to make the loopy bit that goes over the button and I can show you a Finished Object.

Speaking of Finished Objects…

Here’s what’s inside!

I am so glad that’s over with. No more will we speak of these socks.

And now that I have finished up all of my Pending Projects (except for a pair of Michael Socks), I am ready to start something new. I really want to make something for M, but the vest that I brought the stuff for has BIG differences between sizes. Since he’s losing weight (on purpose) the size I would make now might be waaaaaay to big. And since the yarn is Jazz, I have decided not to take any chances. The yarn (such a deal) for the other vest I want to make him isn’t here yet. I was forced to examine other options. Options that involved projects for me. I brought the Breeze (Look at that. It’s discontinued) for a remake of “Remembering Honey”* (IK Spring ’03). But I don’t think I am ready for that yet. My Yarn Treat (in natural and pine) from Great Gran isn’t here yet either. That’s for the Huntington Castle Pullover in the new Interweave. It’s got a hood. Thus, by process of elimination, I have elected to start “Gatsby” (IK Spring ’03) in Chai Latte.

It’s really way to hot for this. Off to swatch!

Do you remember the terrible fading problems? When the swatch did it, I just figured that I had done something wrong. When the finished sweater followed suit after being blocked in plain water and never being worn, I called the manufacturers. After a bunch of emailing back and forth and finally mailing them the sweater, they had no idea what was wrong and sent me some new yarn. In a different color.
