I picked out two complimentary colorways of the yarn, which happened to be very close to the store sample. And there was a fantastic button in the shop, so boom. Project.
That was back in September. I cranked on it for a very short period of time, and I knocked out about 80% of the sweater. Then the weather changed and my mojo on this sweater completely vanished. So I put it away for a few … uh … months.
When it started warming up again, I knew I had to suck it up and get this thing finished. So I pulled out the project bag and garter stitched my little heart out for a few nights and I was all done.
