It's DONE! It's finally done!

Yahoo!! Last night I sewed the final seams and put the finishing touches on the teddy bear baby cardigan I've been knitting on for a few months now.

This is the cutest darned thing I've made in quite a while and, frankly, I might never make another adult garment again. This was satisfying in that the design was fun and the cables were interesting and yet it had enough of a pattern that I could work on it and still watch TV without screwing anything up. BUT - and here's the important part - it didn't take an eternity and 40 gazillion skeins of yarn to complete.

So, to recap: baby garments fun to knit; no more adult garments.

The end. Thank you.

(Oh, and more photos of the sweater in various states of completion are here. )

How about adult underwear? ;P

Hey, if the grannies in Poland can go from doilies to lace underoos ...

Keep those fingers working! You do good work, my dear...worthy of display and coveting! And as long as those MS fingers keep themselves under control, I could see a new "on side" career blossoming for you! It's always good to have an escape plan with this disease...LOL
