AW: Finished DH's sweater!!!
Finally!
And it fits!!!

Please excuse the lumpy-bumpies in the picture--he'd been wearing that button down shirt all day and it was hard to get it to lie flat.

The sleeves are just the right length and the neckline lies flat! So, so happy with the way it came out!!!
Now, after the fact, I'm relieved that he picked such a simple sweater. The miles of stockinette were pretty boring, but they were also easy to blaze through. Any other design would have taken at least another couple of weeks to finish.
At least now I can get back to working on my Nestie ornament...which I need to send in a week. Uh oh.

It looks great on him and I love the color!
Eh, one week is plenty of time for you to finish your ornament. You're such a speedy knitter!
I think you're right. (Just don't tell him I said that!) He picked the color, too. I just provided the assembly work
Thanks Ladies! This is the first sweater I've made for DH and I'm honestly relieved.

He does indeed have monkey arms! I had to ignore the pattern length suggestions and measure out his arms--they were a good 1.5" longer than the pattern suggestion. Worked out nicely, though, don't you think?

Great job!
I finished my DH's sweater a couple of weeks ago. After I had frogged it 1 1/2 times (don't ask). And DH loves it.
Looks great! : )
