It's DONE!!!
Three crazy days of finishing work and it's done done done. DHL just picked it up and Dad should hopefully have it on Saturday, or Monday at the latest.
I had some hiccups in the finishing process (cut the armholes too shallow, had to tear out the sleeve and resew, recut, ugh!) but I couldn't be happier with the final product. This is, hands down, the best thing I have ever knit.
There was something enthralling about watching what I had envisioned grow into reality as I knit. Enthralling and, possibly, addicting. This designing thing could become a habit.
I might write about some of the techniques I experimented with, but for now I'm just going to celebrate completion with a deluge of photos. Hopefully sometime soon I'll have an actual picture of Dad in the sweater!
What a crazy ride.
