pictures of a long-finished object
The person who would have taken pictures of this sweater has been forcibly ejected from my life… he didn’t really want to be in a relationship anymore and I wasn’t feeling valued in that relationship (big surprise considering his feelings, right?); it was very mutual, but not so amicable. I’m angry and hurt, but slowly coming out of the immediate post-breakup funk.
Fortunately, I had a little free time in the park two days ago in Westport, CT, between rehearsal and preview for the show I’ve been working on all month to take some pictures using my camera’s lovely shutter-timer feature. It’s one of the best-fitting sweaters I’ve made myself and should see a lot of use, though it’s a little warm in Brooklyn for wool right now! It’s definitely coming with me to Seattle in two weeks when I visit my parents.
pattern: Penny from Debbie Bliss Summer Essentials (Ravelry links)
yarn: O-Wool Classic 2-Ply (delicious!)
started: 5 April 2008
completed: 26 May 2008 (the knitting was much faster than this, but it took me a long time to sew the ribbons on)
notes: shortened both the body and sleeves

What a healthy way to heal after a break-up. The sweater is lovely.

The sweater is lovely! The guy, dumb. Sorry about the break up.

So sorry about the whole relationship fiasco. I’m glad you’ve found a way to get past it and you’ve got a gorgeous sweater for comfort!
