Wow! It's done!

After working on understanding the directions, and finally figuring out what EZimmerman meant...more or less...with the help of the Ravelry BSJ group, all of the the sudden I found myself within twelve rows of the end!

Actually, I had a bit more than that, as I added cuffs and a collar, per the Wiki directions.

The buttons I found in my collection of buttons. The card was marked as costing 10 cents. For four buttons. I had 2 cards, so I figure accessorizing cost 12.5 cents

I had just enough yarn, too! I love having 'just enough'! I picked it up at the Lambspun sale last October for 40% off. It is 50/50 wool/mohair. Very cushy and softy for my bebe.

I used sz 9 needles, trying to get the sweater to the 12-18 month size. Gauge was good toward that end, according to conventional wisdom, but I am thinking it looks like more of a 2 year old sweater. Alas, I cannot try it out, as the Grandbebe Girl and her parents are visiting her Eldest Aunt.

By the way, Wonderful Guy was duly impressed.

Thanks, Wisest Sister, for forwarding me the EZ books. I am loving them!

We are finishing up five days off, celebrating the anniversary, doing some hiking, some yard work, and being adaptable with the weather. Tomorrow is back to work for both of us.

Pooh. I like having time off with Wonderful Guy.
