Back by popular, or rather Bridget's, demand

All right, all right, so I've mostly been working on Christmas present (that includes you, Bridge), but I have finished something recently. I delayed posting picures a) because I haven't had much time to get a picture, and b) because I've been thinking I might want to try to get the design published. But I don't really have any time to do that, and besides, not many people really read this, so it's not like I'm giving away my secrets.


Specs:
Yarn: Plymouth Suri Merino in the perfect salmon color*, about 7 balls. (That's only $37!)
Design: mine!
Needles: Size 7
Comments: I knit this damn sweater so many times. The first time, I made it to big and I had to go with serious negative ease the second time. Then I wanted to make it a turtleneck, but after many tries, it never looked right. Hence the round neck. I single crocheted around all edges.

* Nighttime photo=funky color. But Matthew worked a little photoshop magic, so the sweater color, if not my face, is pretty close. I like it actually, it's kinda arty.
