I've created a monster!
Pattern here.
A bit of leftover Cashmerino Aran and a smidgen of angora blend (that's seeing lots of action lately), size 2 needles (yes, it's a very dense little sweater), and not even two hours later, I have a sweater that fits my boyfriend's finger perfectly. The finger is not happy to have to wear a sweater, however, as it gets very, very hot in our apartment. (It's either that or very, very cold. Mr. Finger will thank me later.)
I was going to share a picture of the flowers I've knit and crocheted, but their ends aren't woven in and the finishing touches have not been applied, and I thought, "Why would I want to show you such boring and ugly pictures?" I'd rather you think that everything comes off the needles looking like something from Martha Stewart Living.
It figures: just when Christmas is almost here, I have a sudden urge to knit presents for everyone. I'm going to have to enter negotiations with my ambition to reach an acceptable compromise, should my fingers wish to have any sort of break. I cannot afford to pay them overtime; they will rob me blind. (Fingers have expensive tastes! Cashmerino Aran sweaters... pfft!)
