Although this photo isn’t pretty (due to horrific weather and no outdoor light to speak of), the La Gran Lilac Cardigan is DONE!<\/p>\n
<\/a> This is my first cardigan, and I am pleased. I don’t think I’ll knit another mohair sweater for quite a while, as the hairiness slowed me down, and it’s hell to rip. But all in all, I enjoyed knitting this sweater, so I can wear it with no bad memories attached.<\/p>\n I am close to some other FOs, so I’m off to work on those!<\/p>\n Added later:

Most importantly, it fits. The sleeves are a little long, but I fold back the cuff, and then all is good. I wore it to church on Sunday, where they had turned the heat on. I nearly died. It is a very warm sweater. Elsie is taking me out for a late birthday lunch tomorrow, and I’ll wear it there also. I just have to decide which amethyst jewelry I want to wear. Yeah, I lead a rough<\/i> life.<\/p>\n
I linked to this quiz<\/a> from the blog Trailing Yarn<\/a>. It just goes to show that you can take the girl out of Wisconsin, but you can’t take the Wisconsin out of the girl.<\/p>\n
