FO Fimmtadagur

I have been dreading this sweater after cutting the sleeve. Well, it's getting to the time where one has to mail Christmas gifts if one wants them to make it overseas in time, and since we were sending our gifts to Iceland at the end of the week, I HAD to finish this darn thing. So the other night I finished off the re-knitting of the top of the sleeve that I cut, and then last night at SnB I sewed on the bear faces and sewed that cursed sleeve on. Then I dug through my jar of buttons tonight to find 3 matching buttons to use for the button part and hooray! I had 3 nice white ones.

This sweater was definitely a challenging project in finishing. But finally it's done!

Ingi is off to see Dinosaur Jr. play tonight so it's kind of weird to not have him home. I haven't figured out what I am going to do with myself. B & I made potato stamp Christmas gift tags. I guess I can be a knitting geek and listen to Cast On. Maybe I will read. I've been trying to finish these current projects off so I seem to be taking a lot of my free time to knit instead of read.

Oh yeah, I decided to start using the Blogger comments on new posts as an attempt to eradicate spammers that were putting junk in my custom comments. I think I will turn off posting on the old comments. So use the Blogger ones if you want to comment. (ETA: well, I haven't gotten my comments to work just for old posts, so you can't view old comments at the moment. I will try and fix this.)
