knitting in the dark

Yesterday afternoon I blocked the pieces of my Notre Dame de Grace pullover (ravelry link) and it’s still drying this evening. That’s what I get for knitting the body and sleeves in the round and wet blocking! But it gave me a couple extra inches in length in both the body and arms, so it’s worth it.

I knit all but half of one sleeve in November 2008 and finished that second sleeve last week. I’ve been in love with the pattern since it came out in Interweave Summer 2007 and especially after seeing AStitchInThyme’s orange version shortly thereafter and I cannot wait to wear this! It’s nice and cold here so this would be a perfect layer and get lots of use right away.

I need to find time at home during the day with BQ so I can get some shots of recently finished sweaters while actually wearing them - I still haven’t posted pictures of Demi (ravelry link), which I finished December 26 (also started in the fall of 2008!). I think we might both be home Tuesday morning…
