Demi Done!

ok, so i havent posted in like a month. in this wide gap of knit time, i didnt really finish or do very much since i was getting ready for finals and the good scramble of being organized for the end of the semester. winter break started a week ago, and since then, i have been busy!! i finished demi, which is pretty exciting and at the same time, quite itchy! ha. i feel like it makes me look so much older than my regular-wear hooded sweatshirt, but oh well! i think i'll wash it with a sizeable amount of comditioner, and maybe then it'll be not so scratchy.

thoughts on making demi:
-the yarn sure did make my hands black. not an attractive thing to have when in any kind of social situation.
-bobbles are not a great time. they look weird and slow down the knitting process.
-be sure to follow the pattern even if it doesnt make sense. for the front, i thought the pattern was nonsense, and made it one pice instead of a big piece with a little shoulder piece for the left side. suffice to say, my buttons are pretty useless: they unbutton right onto fabric.

good luck to eveyone else still working on demi! the length of the sleeves and torso came out nice and long! keep in mind though, that im short and dont really have any space between my rib cage and my hips. who needs that, right?

the pic is nice and big because im so proud! :)
