[Knitting] Celtic Dreams, Finally Finished.

[kniteracy]

I'm really happy with this garment.

Celtic Dreams Finally Finished! All in all, it didn't take too long. I started this jumper on the 10th of May, worked on something like three pairs of socks at the same time, and I didn't knit at all from about the second week of July all the way through August. I completed the first sleeve on Wednesday, and finished everything, including sleeves and end-weaving about an hour ago at 10:30 tonight, Saturday 4 October. J was kind enough to take this photograph.

Both sweater and model are gorgeous (and the harp isn't too bad either)! Congrats on a stunning and quick finish; that was a lot of knitting...

Oh, wow, that's just beautiful. The colour looks gorgeous with your hair, too!

That's gorgeous. Love the color (as much as colors can be accurately seen online). The pic is great, also -- I'd suggest it for a press/promo pic.

Go, you!

The fit is excellent.

And you're looking fantastic. :) I can see you've got those shoulders back and your head held high!

I love this kind of knitting. It's why I learned to knit. :-) Cables, baybee, cables.

Thanks. :) It's a slight bit loose on the hips, and I'll probably lose a lot more over the next few months, but I like roomy jumpers. Right now, it fits like a dream, and I love the sleeves. I guess I haven't posted a lot of photos of my recent-ness. I do look a bit different. :-)

J will be flattered you like the photo. It's just an iPhone snap. :)

Hair's going a bit darker tomorrow. I'm experimenting. ;)

And thanks. I am loving this jumper.

Wow, beautiful! You and the sweater and the harp. :)

Very nice looking sweater! I love the diamond pattern down the middle.

And a great shot of you too!

[telynor.livejournal.com]

I really love it. I've had the pattern and wool for ages. I'm sure I've got the pattern linked in another post with the celtic dreams tag.

As for the me-- well, I'm about 90 pounds lighter than the last time you saw me. Life is pretty good. ;-)

Thanks. :)

*beam* Thanks.

Thanks. :) The harp is Heretic, my first wirestrung. He's looking pretty good for twelve-and-well-travelled.

It looks brilliant, and the colour really suits you.

       You are so cute, that's a good picture. I love that hair color on you. Nice sweater or whatever this post was supposed to be about.;)

*smooch*
