NaKniSweMo08 Complete!

NaNoWriMo08… still in process.

HPIM0612

Explaining to Meeko that claws + sweater = repercussions for the owner of said claws.

HPIM0613

Plotting the placement of the shed.

HPIM0614

Squinting at the sun (it was the only shot I got of the collar. :) )

HPIM0615

Chatting with Lola.

HPIM0616

I’m really thrilled with how it came out, and Kris loves it.  It’s soft, it’s warm, and it FITS!  Yay!

Now, I tackle this pile.

HPIM0617

Here’s hoping I can finish both by the 30th!

    Oh my, doesn’t he look all cuddly and broad-shouldered? What a great fit.

    HOW did you get the stripes to match up on the sleeve caps?? I wasn’t paying enough attention to earlier entries and thought it was a raglan because it looked like you were working from the shoulder down — but it’s not. How… wh.. You’re a witch, aren’t you? That’s it. Confess! ;-)

    I really like the split crew collar. I must remember that — it looks so much more stylish than a traditional crew neck (and is probably more comfortable, too).

    Attempting 2 sweaters in a month. Wow. I’m officially giving up on any hopes that I’ll finish my one sweater in two months this week. I’m now giving myself a third month. I have faith you can do it though – you churn out that knitting like nobody’s business!

    Very nice :) Looks good on him, and it looks rather comfy too. I don’t think anybody would blame you if you borrow it now and then!

    Congrats on finishing it! It looks awesome. Now, a second sweater? Even I am not that crazy. Ok, maybe I am. I can’t wait to see the second finished sweater. :)

    I really like Chris’s sweater, especially the neckline. Really nice job! It looks like the fit is just right.

    Yorkie:

    Back off, Pyewacket…I saw him first! *snarl*

    It’s a lovely jumper, Pam. And I can’t believe how fast you cranked it out!

    But tell me (because I’m really boneheaded about these things)…how did you get all the stripes to line up like that?? I don’t ordinarily knit things that can’t be done on automatic pilot…that jumper looks like too much thinking.

    It is very, very gorgeous. I’d be tempted to frame it and tell K, “No, you may LOOK at The Sweater only…no touching..STOP IT, you’re talking too loudly and scaring The Sweater!!”
