after tearing it apart twice my next pattern is coming along.
it's going to look completely different from what you see here.  stay tuned!

Grape Jam

The grunge sweater is done! I will post non-bathroom mirror selfies of it soon along with a link to the pattern. originally I intended for it to have long sleeves but when trying it on to make sure the body fit well I really liked the look of it with short sleeves.
The above pic is of the completed sweater before I sewed the ends in. This pattern took me only 5 days to complete :) Ever ambitious, I have begun my next sweater project. I purchased Red Heart with love in "Pewter" for the last sweater and I love how soft it turns out for an acrylic yarn So I purchased it in "Grape Jam" for my new project. When I'm writing a new pattern I never want to do the first attempt with a high quality (read: expensive) yarn in case it doesn't work out. This stuff works great for me as it's still practical and comfortable for wear once a project is done. Updates on the new sweater and a link to the last pattern up soon!
