After only 6 months on the needles the Swedish Cardi is finally finally done. Another sweater knit entirely from stash, WOO HOO!
Ok, it’s being held closed with a safety pin. I haven’t had a chance to so shopping for some nice clasps, soon.
I blogged about this thing so much at the beginning I feel like there’s nothing left to say except: It’s done, and I love it!
There are lots and lots more pictures on Flickr, and you can read more about it in earlier posts here, here, and here, or check it out on Ravelry.
I’ve already cast on a little “reward” project. Ironically, though it’s beautiful, this might be another 6 month project. Seascape from the new Knitty, in a springscape yarn. This is yarn I won last summer in a blog contest over at Knititch, thank you so much Merete!
How do you celebrate FO happy endings?
Wonderful wonderful job! Wow!
purty! Maybe June hasn’t warmed up on the coast yet?
I wear the item, if I can. If it’s not something I can wear, it gets socked away (no pun intended) for whoever the intended recipient is to be given it. On the other hand, if it’s not for me, I have an even worse time than usual finishing!
Oh My – it’s gorgeous! And I celebrate pretty much the same way – with yarn and something newly cast on.
great job! The sweater is gorgeous. When I finish a project, I celebrate just as you did–by casting on another one. Yay!
Gorgeous – wow! Congrats on getting it done. And I celebrate the same way – casting on as fast as I can on a new project!
Your sweater turned out gorgeous. really beautiful knitting and finishing. Seascape is going to be gorgeous. How do I celebrate a UFO becoming a FO? After I’ve shown everyone in the the house and pet it and smile lovingly at it I momentarily think about picking up another UFO to finish. However, I typically do cast on a new fun exciting project but I have another UFO picked out to finished once my new project gets the best of me. 🙂 Any wonder I have 20 million UFO’s?
That’s GORGEOUS! And the yarn you chose for Seascape is beautiful. It looks like cotton candy to me. Yummy!
I would love to CO for a fun new project. Except that I have a few too many OTN right now. I just finished the afghan I’ve been working on. That deserves a reward.
that is my kind of sweater. it is gorgeous. looks like ancient tapestry because of your choice (daring choice) of colours.
i am glad you have found use for the well traveled yarn.
isn’t yarn the best friend???
Another lovely sweater!
That sweater is impressive! It looks good on you, too. Even with the safety pin. Great job!
Another beauty. I love the neck shaping. And all the extra pictures on Flickr are great.
That sweater is gorgeous! It really suits you. Congrats!
