As much of a pain as the sweater may have been, it really looks lovely on you!Carolynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14329368015151415166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33766589.post-37882894078615009312011-03-17T18:38:31.204-06:002011-03-17T18:38:31.204-06:00You should be so proud of yourself for not giving up.

I&#39;ve done it before and I&#39;m sure I&#39;ll do it again! We do what we do b/c we love it right? I have to remind myself on occasion that knitting is fun and I love it! It&#39;s a beautiful sweater and you did a great job with it! The fact that you have this war story over it makes it even better!Meghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09490893047486001199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33766589.post-53815081169163094992011-03-06T21:43:20.426-07:002011-03-06T21:43:20.426-07:00This story is perfectly emblematic of February for me.

Not that it wouldn&#39;t, but it would have seriously hampered my unsuccessful resolve to cut down on my awful swearing.<br />I think it is gorgeous just the way it is.
