My Ribbon Twist sweater ("Beth" from the Ribbon Twist Collection by Kim Hargreaves) is done. It was such a quick knit. Gotta love it, even if the 12 mm needles are killer on my wrists! (and I am heading right into another 12 mm needle project that I can't say anything about!!!) I love the look of the sweater, but I am constantly pulling it up at the shoulders since it feels like it's falling off. If I were to make it again, I would probably use a thinner yarn for sewing it up, as it feels rather bulky around the armpits and shoulders. I suppose I could redo it, but that seems like such a p.i.t.a. I am also realizing that as much as I am attracted to bulky wools, especially very loosely spun wools, they are the ones that PILL like CRAZY!! All that being said, I do love the sweater, love the colour, love the style. Sorry about all the complaining!
A very overdue thank you to Mom for the sweater since she bought me the yarn about 2 years ago, I think! It feels good to use up stash yarn!


Bel, you look so beautiful! The new glasses are killer, your hair is fantastic, and the sweater is perfect on you.
Also, I miss you.
