Butterfly Specs and Images

I know - I'm really in my pjs and still taking the photo - but at least it is a photo on. Project Details: Started June 14th (my birthday) and finished September 7th (almost 3 months ... ouch)! I used Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran yarn (the first time I've used this and I really really loved it). I made the sleeves 1.5" longer than the pattern called for. I made size 32 and the pattern is out of Knit2Together. Size 8 and 9 needles were used. I still need to block it (once more) - but it feels like heaven and I think that I'll use this yarn again.

F.O. Butterfly Pullover

Oh thank goodness - off the needles. I have yet to actually try it on. That will be for a time when there is no pj bottoms. But, it is finished and I'm happy with how it looks. I'll re-block it and try it on tomorrow! Back of pullover. Front of pullover

W.I.P September 6th

I'm cranking through the butterfly pullover. Now that the front and back are blocked - all I need to do is finish up the sleeves. My goal is to have the sleeves done by tomorrow afternoon. I like to do sleeves at the same time (which makes them less than fast to knit) - but it means that once I'm done - I'm done!

Could you call this a WIP - possibly. It has been taking me so long though that I'd just call it something I'm working to get off the needles. I finished up the back yesterday and blocked both the front and back. Now I just have the two sleeves to go and then I can piece it together and do the collar. Hopefully I get this done with in the next week or two. Really the problem is that I don't like UFOs.
