Lickety split

That's a funny saying, isn't it?  Lickety split.  It makes me laugh though and it describes how the knitting of my latest sweater went along.  In just over a week I knit the whole sweater.  Add in a few days for blocking and by today the sweater was ready to wear (and photograph, of course).

This is a very nice, easy to follow pattern.  To top off the greatness... it's FREE on Knitty.com.  I feel like it came out really well.  I think I'm starting to get the hang of this whole sizing thing finally.  I believe this was my best job with getting the thing knit to my size.  I had to adjust the length when knitting because I knew this thing would grow when I washed it.  In the end, I believe the sweater grew over 3 inches in length so I'm glad I knit it shorter than I wanted it.

What's on the needles now?  A vest.  It shouldn't take long to do so maybe there will be a new blog post before Turkey Day.
