The Sweater is Complete!!

YEAH!! The sweater is done (all except for weaving in some ends. Yuck) and possible picking up the bottom and extending it a little bit. I need to block it to see if I can eliminate the roll. If not I will have to add a little to the bottom. Kyle does not like the roll. But he does love the sweater. And I finished it just in time for his birthday. It was done last night and today is his b-day. Unfortunatley he won't be wearing this bad boy any time soon. I am so excited to have completed my first sweater. And the best part is I have enough of this yarn left to make myself a matching sweater as well. We will be the cutest couple around!! I'm leaving for Alaska on Wed. maybe I should take the sweater with me for those chilly nights.

Next project: I am going to make myself a pair of felted slippers with some birthday yarn. (My birthday was two weeks ago). I stumbled across a great website (http://knitpicks.com/) and ordered some yarn with some of my birthday money. I like the yarn, the colors were not entirely what I was expecting, but it should be fine. I bought some Wool of the Andes (http://www.knitpicks.com/yarns/yarn_display.aspx?itemid=5420103) for the slippers and some Andean Silk and Andean Silk Twist (http://www.knitpicks.com/yarns/yarn_display.aspx?itemid=5420126) to maybe make a bag. It is really pretty, soft and silky. I really like it. It is not as cheap as the Wool of the Andes, so it is not as great of a buy.

Off I must go... Rhiannon
