and i mean it, damn it!!
there, i've said it, thank you very much!
after two hours of frustration, i am over it!! i finally did a three needle bind off and got on with life! i don't know what it's all about but i just can't seem to make that stitch work!! i read the directions and i follow the pictures and i mentally know what i should be doing but...enough is enough!!!
the good news is that i have finished this little number. it is the minimalist sweater by ruthie nussbaum from interweave knits, fall 2007. and while i've got a whine going, i might as well complain about how long it took to put this sweater together!! jeepers, it took me less time to knit the thing than to sew it together!! now i remember the reason that i like to knit 'all in one' numbers!!
this really is the same sweater even though the color looks different. this is another classic example of my terrific photo abilities! not!
i think this sweater will be a keeper - it feels good and looks pretty good! and, the best part is, i actually used some of my stash instead of buying new stuff. now, that is progress - in more ways than one!! and i really like the texture of the moss stitch - soooo groooooovy!!
