AW: Finished Sweater!

Okay, so this probably belongs over on the crafts board, but there are way too few knitters over there--disappointing.  You guys are seriously the best board on The Nest, so I'll share with you. Smile

This beast of a project took forever on teeny tiny needles, but since the yarn is a deliciously soft angora, I minded a lot less.  Plus, the result is totally worth it:

  • Haha, I just noticed you can see the "Just Married" sign that's still on our fridge in that picture.  My sister put that there on the morning of our wedding and we haven't had the heart to take it down yet.

    Practice, practice, practice.  I took a class in college and have been doing it nonstop ever since.

    I am actually in the works of setting up on Etsy, but I want to build a bit of an inventory first.  I have a few more ideas I want to complete and then I'll open!

    If you guys want to see more, I keep a blog about my finished objects.  I'll announce an Etsy opening (if/) when that happens there, since I'm not allowed to here.

    I'm flattered you think I'm fast enough to sell a sweater like that on Etsy!    It took me about 3 weeks and hours and hours of work--I would have to charge waay more than you'd be willing to pay to make it worthwhile.  The plan is to make much smaller things like gloves, hats, and scarves.

  • I just started knitting a few weeks ago.  In fact, I'm still working on my practice square.  Anyway.  Looking at your sweater gives me hope that one day I'll be able to make beautiful, practical things I can wear.  Keep posting knitting items.  You've gotten me inspired!  Great job!!!
  • WOW I love it!!! Let me know when the Etsy shop is up and runing. I would def love a sweater like that!!!

  • Beautiful.  Put me on the list to buy one!
  • Man you have some talent!  Maybe I need to pass this picture along to my husband's grandma so I won't get yet another 12in red, furry, scarf for Christmas. Big Smile  I'm seriously jealous of your mad skill.

  • I'm so impressed! It is beautiful.

    Perhaps we can come up with some code word for when your etsy store is open? Then the knot gods might now figure it out :)

  • There are lots (by that, loads) of people on Crafts who have stores...you just can't advertise.  Maybe when you're ready, you should tell us via Facebook and we can pass the word off tn.

    That should work.  Thanks to all of you for being so supportive about this!  You really inspired me to get back into designing things for the shop.  I've got some good ideas for a couple of berets and a pair of gloves now.
