Cottage Lace

Sometimes my need to have a finished object is overwhelming.  So much so, that I actually dug out a sweater that was close to becoming a UFO.  You might remember when I started it last September.  The knitting really did fly off the needles, only taking a week or so to knit all the pieces.  And then the dreaded job of seaming made me abandon it.  I pulled it out a couple of days ago, knowing there wasn't that much left to do:  sewed the last cuff to the left sleeve, seamed the left sleeve up, and attached the collar.  Blocked it and now I can call it good. 

And it is good, very good!  Warm and cozy and swingy (albeit, too warm and cozy to really appreciate right now with our 90+ temps!)  But it makes me look forward to chilly days ahead when I can throw it on :)
