I think that's the exact same sweater I made (finished) for myself last year. I started it about 3 years ago, and it sat on my coffee table for about a year while I was in a "I can't bear to pick it up" stage. Luckly I lost some weight, and when I did finish the sweater, it fit! I made my sweater out of grey Briggs and Little Wool. In the last 10 years, I only do Aran style knits. Your project looks great... and inspiring.GailM.http://www.blogger.com/profile/08421904793462089719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24252963.post-23103384804692844132007-12-27T13:20:00.000-06:002007-12-27T13:20:00.000-06:00Hope your ankle is soon healed.

I think the pattern you chose is an excellent choice as it will preserve the scene and the quilt will not loose its humor--afer all if you cut up the pieces too small, those animals riding in those cars will not be apparent and the fun will be lost. The sweater looks great so far--amazing work! I hope you are soon able to put the pedal to the metal again and join us in the quilting world!Normahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17921807595542164387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24252963.post-55235322623675434562007-12-21T14:56:00.000-06:002007-12-21T14:56:00.000-06:00Sounds like you are plenty busy enough - sore ankl...Sounds like you are plenty busy enough - sore ankle and all. Stealing one of my husbands comments, I'll change it to "after all, one can't quilt 365 days a year!" He says that about golfing - I always reply about how it's fun to try. Same with quilting! Anyway, I adore you yarn for the new sweater - fall colors are my most favorite. Unfortunately I can't wear them - maybe that's why I love to use them in quilts!<br><br>Have a very wonderful Christmas!Pattihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07125491177774966237noreply@blogger.com
