3 Days to Spare - Sort of

The shower is on Saturday so I finally sucked it up and did all the finish work. Regardless of the fact that it took me two months to sew seams and buttons this was a fun, fast, and easy knit. Trellis from knitty, I made the smallest size and I substituted the Rowan for TLC Cotton Plus - which is the exact same fiber content at 1/3 the price. I think I changed needle size for gauge but other than that I made no modifications.


NOTE TO SELF: You hate finishing - DO NOT make sweaters that involve hours of it!



And since I always listen faithfully - here's what I've got instore for myself tonight.
Hours of finishing - yippee fun!
