Well, after more than six months, this famed behemoth has been finished. It weights 2 lbs and 3 oz (maybe not quite behemoth caliber, but, when you consider the fact that the average sweater weighs about 1 lb, then maybe), and took about 20 balls of yarn.
No modeled shots yet, since this will be a Christmas present– but you’re not tired of the cables-receding-off-into-infinity trope yet, are you? I guess I could have made Zac model it for me, but, you know, it’s August.
You’ll be happy to hear, though, that when my dad came to visit the farm the other weekend, I made him try it on, and all my fears about a poor fit were relieved.
I do like this sweater an awful lot, but I sure am glad it’s over (on the other hand, having spent a good long while with Aran Knitting, I found myself pretty drawn to Irish Moss. Maybe in CSA share yarn, when it comes back from the mill?).
