Nuclear Knits: Where knitting is the bomb!

Well this project has been on the needles since November 13 2008 - it is actually still on the needles. I tried this dress on after Rebbecca finished it (and really liked how it fit), but I decided to be a big girl and knit my own (we bought the yarn at the same time and just inverted the pattern). Well Rebbecca asked me if I was interested in doing a swappero - my 6" into - for her finished. Ah ... the pleasures of "finishing" a project.

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.

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

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!
