Old Dog New Tricks

(For a soundtrack to accompany today's blog post, click here.)
Last month, I wrote about finding the sweet spot in my knitting. That place . . . where knitting meets intention. My attempt at trying to make things that I (or someone I love) will wear.
And keep.
And love.
And I'm here to report that I did it.
(In the words of Alanis Morissette, sometimes . . . you learn.)
A perfect little layering piece. It's exactly my style. In exactly my colors. And since finishing it last week, I've already worn it 5 times. (In fact, I'm already plotting making another one.) (It's that perfect.)
Definitely in my sweet spot!

This is indeed perfect for you! So perfect that even though I don't knit sweaters, I am seriously contemplating making this one as it might even be perfect for me! I can't wait to see your next one.

Oh it looks perfect on you! I'm so glad you are happy with the finished item, and hope you get lots more good wear out of it. :-)

Awesome, Kym! it does fit you perfectly, too :-) look forward to seeing your next version - perhaps in a summery blend? lots of possibilities here (kind of like me and Heidi Kirrmaier's Fine Sand ... I'm getting ready to make #5).

The sweater is perfect on you! Looks like there is some nice snow melt going on as well. Spring!
