I attempted to knit this 1930s 3-hour sweater once and never finished it. It was the first thing I ever tried to knit (no scarves for this bitch, I dove right into the deep end) and it ended up being a disaster – mistakes all over the place, and the sleeves were a nightmare.
With a year of knitting under my belt I decided to give it another go.
The finishing touch was to sew a vintage button onto the keyhole neckline and call it a day.
This was knitted (for the most part, anyway) while watching seasons 1 and 2 of ‘Pushing Daisies.’ Which was fantastic and I am very upset that there were only ever 2 seasons made before it was cancelled. I really don’t know why I feel the need to tell everyone what I watch while knitting. It’s my special I Get To Watch Whatever I Want Because I Am Making Clothing With Yarn And Sticks Time.

Congratulations on completing your sweater. I cannot even believe you thought that would be an easy first project as it looks highly complex. Bet it feels good to complete these winter projects and, hopefully, that means warm weather is just around the corner.
Thanks, I'm so happy to be finished with it! Onward and upward to less aggravating projects, hopefully!
Can't wait to see the couch selection! 🙂 You're lovely…
Aw, thank you. Picking out a couch will either be fun or absolutely awful, so we'll see how it goes!
Congrats! Wow, I could seriously NEVER do that. That's determination though, to pick it back up again after all that time. I love the color, too.
At this point I don't know if it's determination or stupidity, but I'll take determination!
