Sorry! This is just coming slow as molasses, but progress is being made. Though I did frog 1/2 of one sleeve for being slightly different than the other. No matter. Here she is as she will again look in a few hours, for anyone who's interested:
It's not really true to size because the sides curl in on themselves like crazy, and of course the arms aren't sewn together and the whole thing was really thrown on the floor in the most haphazard way. Anyway. I've been asked by a couple of folks to post my modifications for shorties. Good news! This path has been forged before. I am using Stacy's tres helpful modifications.
Posted by jess at May 25, 2005 10:32 PMOh it looks great. When did you start? I have just ordered some brown sheep lambs pride bulky to sub for it, in charcoal. Will be my first finished sweater (if I finish, I have knitty's kyoto languishing unfinished) and my first cables. I have tested my finishing ability with two clapotis though so am sure I will actually finish this one. Did you find it reasonably easy? Will I find more about it in your archives (gee I could have looked there first right :))

Posted by: Tere at May 26, 2005 7:45 AMwow, jess! I don't know how you manage to fit in everything.. reading, working, knitting, and blogging... *phew* it wears me out just thinking about all you do! ;) I can't believe how close to being finished you are! It looks really nice.
Posted by: heidi at May 26, 2005 5:28 PMWow. Color me impressed. How long have you been knitting? Wasn't it less than a year ago that you finished your first sweater, Hourglass? It looks beautiful, of course. I'd expect nothing less from a Type-A (and I mean that in a good way)!
Posted by: julia at May 26, 2005 6:35 PMWhat a beautiful color! I can't wait to see it all done.
Posted by: Lesley at May 27, 2005 8:35 AMLooks great! I made a few adjustments to that pattern, as well. You have to bring the neck in some otherwise you are wearing it down around your waist. However, I did keep the neck a little more open because I like the drama of it. In the end it is not the most practical sweater in the world, but I love it.
Posted by: Nicole at May 31, 2005 11:40 AMi love how that sweater is coming along. usually i dont like purple (eek!!) but that is just beautiful!
Posted by: erika at May 31, 2005 3:11 PMMy friend made Marilyn for me for my birthday (she's a saint) and I thought you might like to see the picture of it finished. If so, have a look on my blog in February. Yours looks gorgeous - trust me, it's a pleasure to wear :)
