It's a sweater!

The Lopi Lite is complete! Just need to graft under the arms and weave in the ends! I've been baking cookies tonight and they're not quite done, so I'll do a little weaving until bedtime. I'm tempted to do some critical weaving tonight and wear it to the office holiday party, but it would clearly benefit from a little blocking and it would be, well, more honest, to wear it after all the ends are woven.

I had a crisis of color near the end, though. There's more of the "rust" than I realized, and my substituted color is yellower and nice, but not my favorite of the colors in the sweater. Hopefully it will grow on me, or I'll like it better when it's on.

Pictures on Saturday at the latest; I can borrow work's camera by then without a problem.

Congrats, Ingrid!!! Can't wait to see the pictures. I'm having a small crisis with mine-- I think I should be making the 39" intsead of the 36". I'm afraid it might be too *fitted* through the chest. Oh well, if it's too tight I'll give it to my super petite b**bless friend. I'm more about process than product, anyway. Knit on, girl!!
