What more can I say? He's happy, I'm happy. No, I'm ecstatic!
You want details? If you've been reading this blog for any length of time, you'll know that the design is my own, with help from Barbara G. Walker's "Knitting from the Top". The yarn is Online's Tessa, needles are 4.5 mm (US 7). How long did it take to knit it? Well, according to him, too long. I'm not even sure at this time when I started it. I'm just thrilled that it's finished. Now, I can concentrate on MY cardigan without guilt.
Oh yes, Lisa (Lady Lung Doc) asked if I'm knitting a pullover or the cardigan shown in the picture. I'm knitting the cardigan, as pictured. I just think a cardigan will be a little more practical for me right now. A pullover may be in the cards at some time, but not right now.
For now, I'm having a glass of wine (or two) to celebrate John's new sweater.
*Phew!*

ReplyDeleteGreat job, Ev. It fits John so well. Isn't it a good feeling when you finally finish something that you've had on the go for a long time. I started an aphgan for my husband's 60th b-day & finished it this year...3 yrs later.
