Mar La Sweater Done!
For some reason the yoke always seems to take forever - probably because the first half has the largest number of stitches of the whole sweater! LOL! Whatever the inconvenience of shuffling an entire sweater while knitting in the round, it's more than made up for by having NO seams to sew! Seams is the #1 reason why I seldom knit sweaters before! Now all I have to do is kitchener a few stitches in the under arm and the sweater is DONE minutes after you cast off the neck! I weave in loose ends as I knit so they don't become a nasty little job at the end of the project.
The brownish stitches are actually a glitter gold yarn I knit with the regular yarn. It adds a bit of bling! Five minutes after I had kitchenered the under arms DD#1 wore it when she went outside for a walk! She just loves it! It is a bulky oversize fit which is what she wanted. A loose fit over her regular clothing and cozy cushy soft! Hooray! Success! LOL!
