You betcha. And putting it on and taking it off several times before actual Thanksgiving wearing did stretch it out some. And now, I love love love it. Except it sheds a LOT. Here’s evidence:
Yes I know my eyes are closed. It’s the only one I have, till family sends me what they took. I can’t stand flash in my eyes and close them almost every time. I just can’t control it!
So my next project was supposed to be with the alpaca I bought in Rhinebeck but I haven’t wound it up yet, or really decided what it will be, and the Ribby Cardi pattern was just lying around, with the yarn, so hey. I had to start that, right?
Mmm. Sure is PINK.
Well, tonight is a movie going night and tomorrow I may have to go back up to New Rochelle to get the car that I left there on Thurs. (long story involving a transmission and my lack of desire to drive it home) and then work takes over, so I’ll be back in a few days!

So did I wear it?
Posted by jackie blue on November 27th, 2004OK, so it sorta fits, but…
Posted by jackie blue on November 24th, 2004Meet Modified Giraffe.
Modified because I changed the side shaping a bit, made it 3 inches shorter, and used a lighter gauge (but not by much) yarn. I am kicking myself though, because even though it was a lighter gauge, I knit the smallest size. Does it fit? Sure. Anything with ribs will stretch out to tomorrow. Does it fit the way I would have liked it? Well, not really. Unless I’m going for 50’s pin-up style, this is an awfully tight sweater. And on my winter curves…yikes! I’d better not eat too much tomorrow. Will I wear this tomorrow as planned? It’s anyone’s guess.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. Thank you for reading my blog, sending wonderful comments and email, and for those of you I am lucky enough to be friends with, for being my friend.

Posted by jackie blue on November 18th, 2004Seems I almost have a finished sweater here.
The question is, will this tiny looking thing actually fit?
Warning, many photos ahead
Posted by jackie blue on November 14th, 2004I had such a lovely week cavorting with various knitbloggers over food, beer, coffee, and knitting. Here are the photos for proof. Sorry I missed a couple of people here and there.

And last night I got to spend a few precious hours with one of my best friends, AWOL from NY for almost a year.
Really, with so many wonderful people around me, how can anything be bad?
