take these sunken eyes and learn to see

At long last, the sweater is done. I finished it up in early July, but waited to post about it until after it had been presented to its recipient. This was knit for Larry, iii_demon's dad. Wish we could have made it wine colored, but at least it should hide the coffee stains a bit.


Modeled by iii_demon.


(He finds the sleeves a bit long.)


Larry finally trying it on for the first time. (He also finds the sleeves a bit long. Oh well.)


I think he likes it any way.

I really enjoyed knitting this sweater and felt I learned a bit from it. I think I may wait a bit until I cast on for my next sweater though...

I should have picked the smaller size I think. I think they have 6-7 inches of ease for his chest size. It's ridiculous.
