All Done Aidez

Well, the day before Thanksgiving I finished seaming my Aidez and put it out to block. I then wore it Thanksgiving Day to my mother in laws - it was still a bit damp but I didn't care. I just had to wear it. I had my camera - did I pull it out and get some pictures? No. So, here are a few shots of it hanging out in my room.





I love how it seamed up at the sleeves and the neckband worked like a charm.
Now, all my family knows I knit. I love to wear what I make. I love to give my knitting as gifts. What I love most is when someone compliments what I have made. Not one peep from anyone except from my proud husband about this sweater. Must say it took the air out of my balloon. However, I won't let it bum me too much as I LOVE this sweater and I know I'm going to live in it.

    It looks beautiful. Probably everyone thought it was "store bought." Meaning it look that good.

    I'm working on the same sweater now and your pics give me a boost! One thing that I can't understand, and maybe you can help....on the pattern, it says to extend the collar band to 3 3/4", but on the drawing measurements it says 4 3/4". Any suggestions based on what you did. Obviously it turned out well:)
