Stephen's Fisherman Sweater Done!

I'm on a roll lately (which is good, because I have WAY too many things in progress). I was very happy to realize on Friday night that I could actually have it finished for Father's Day.

(This was especially fortuitous, because I had it in my head that Father's Day was NEXT weekend. At least I had something to give him...)

Here are the pieces as of Friday night. Sleeves:


Front and back:


And then, I spent Friday, Saturday and Sunday doing construction. Here's the finished product:

Yippee! Nothing like a nice, new, wool sweater just in time for summer.

One of the things I love about knitting (in addition to admiring a finished project) is the memory of all the things I was doing while the knitting was going on. I look at this sweater and see the waiting room at the doctor's office (and the dentist's office, and the pediatrician's office...), chatting with friends while the kids were in Sunday school, waiting while Max played in his chess tournament, trying to figure out the stitch count on a plane after a business trip...

Time to work a new project into my bag and create some new memories.
