Misfit

The Aran sweater is done although I haven't blocked it or woven in the ends yet. That's a job for another time. Sewing it up was enough stress for one day and I was anxious to try it on.

Although it looked perfectly fine in its mug shot, I was starting to have an ominous feeling about it.

I wasn't that unhappy with it on the first try-on. I had wanted it to be roomy and I knew those dropped sleeves were going to be sloppy but so far, so good.

It was when I had The Mister take some photos that I noticed it was really large-really, really large. I wanted big and comfy but this is beyond that. I could fit it over my winter coat if I had to.

Then I made the mistake of asking The Mister try it on. Perfect. This sweater may be going to Rhinebeck but I don't think I will be the one wearing it. Phooey.

    Well you're absolutely right....it fits the Mister perfectly and look how beautiful it turned out!!! Now I need to get to work on those mismatched socks of mine. I've pretty much just been playing with the puppy! :-)
