In theory, it's all about the fiber – knitting, crocheting, sewing, and spinning – but really, it's all about my life.

Carmelo

That’s right – I finished her up last night!

I even managed the grafting at the end of the tubular cast-off on the second try. That’s a fairly huge accomplishment for me.

It goes beautifully with my new shawl pin that I bought at Stitches this year.

I really like the way it fits.

Plus, it’s really, really cozy.

I can’t wait to wear this!

    It is just splendiferous! So proud for you to have accomplished two such beautiful sweaters in what? 3 a half weeks? I’ve never seen a photo of you with long curly hair, it looks BeeYouTeeFull!

    I am DYING to get back to sweater knitting, but I think that’s going to have to wait until after I get through convention. Very nicely done, once again!

    Your speedy approach to sweater knitting this month must have rubbed off on me…I’m so close to finishing my FLS.

    Love the subtle variations of that yarn.

    It really is quite lovely. You should be proud!

    Now edge the entire thing in pink sparkly fun fur, add a knitted skull to the back, and put a badge on the front that says, “My other sweater is an Alice Starmore Original”, and I’d totally take it off your hands.

    Don’t look at me like that.
