We had a sweater try-on (I still need to finish the neck) and I couldn’t be happier with the result. It’s still a bit long, but the K5P1 ribbing is stretchy, and I think this has a lot of wear left in it.
The color is awesome – a variegated muted teal/blue/brown that works really well with the ribbing. Soft, comfy, bright yarn, and no protests from the kiddo as it went on.
So now I just need to pick up stitches round the collar, knit an inch, bind off, and wash, and the project is finally done!!
I’d dubbed this my “Summer Sweater” in Ravelry, and it’s turned into more of a Christmas sweater, but the size is perfect and I couldn’t be happier with the result. Yay.

Finishing
Merrily seaming the little broken-rib sweater – I love the way the sleeve increases look as the sleeve comes together.
Of course, no sooner is the camera out than I have a helper.
Not only standing on the knitting, but trying to put the lens cap (camera lid, to his way of thinking) back in place.
So much for a knitting photo shoot.
