join me for an evening at the ballet
The Ballet Pullover is finished!!
Feast your eyes...
And because I couldn't resist showing it off...
This is my favorite knitted item thus far. It actually FITS!
I technically still need to finish the crochet trim on the neckline, but I'll need mum's assistance for that since I tried and hopelessly failed to do it on my own.
In knitting this up I've discovered a few things...
1. knitting with two strands of yarn is tricksy because both want to twist in and of themselves as well as with each other
2. rings can be used as stitch markers when you small markers won't fit over the size 11 needles
3. sleeves aren't as scary as I had originally imagined
Perhaps heels aren't as frightening as I imagine them to be either. We'll have to wait and see, for I really *really* need to finish that PBS.

That is a great job, B. It fits you beautifully and you look lovely in it. And it hardly seems to have taken you any time either. I'm impressed :)
B, it looks fantastic! You're right-the fit is perfect and it looks so nice on you! Wonderful job!
WOW!!! It looks fabulous. The color is really beautiful and it fits you perfectly.
Ooooh. It's gorgeous...and looks incredibly comfy! Nice job!
It looks FANTASTIC!! Go you! You'll be getting compliments all year with that one. It's so becoming on you. Feel free to take a bow/curtsey, if you like, because we're applauding madly. :)
