« Birth of a Zippy | Main | Entrelac Hat »

Complete!
my zippy is done! i think it would be better if i had used smaller needles, mainly because when the ribs stretch, whatever shirt i have on is visible. eh, life goes on. all in all, im pretty pleased with this project! all i have left ot do is fold the sweater up and store it for fall!
i was just thinking that someone should make veggie chorizo. i never even heard of chorizo until i was way beyond the depths of eating meats, and you know, i'd like to try some fake meat product that has the same spices. maybe i will write tofurkey a letter. hey, im hungry, but i just spent my money on clothes. *sigh*
back to knitting.. i really could have finished this project a lot faster than i did. but instead, ive been going out a lot, and working more than i need to and doing things like jumping off of rope swings into the river while fully aware that lonely sweater pieces were lingering at home. also, i fell asleep a bunch of times on the sleeves. this project wasn't too boring.. the cables got pretty redundant, but that always happens. i just stay out too late and work too early and drink too many beers. my friends will say i don't drink enough; just ignore them.
next in line... i want to make a houndstooth scarf (which will inevitably end up being a houndstooth hankerchief since i have a zero tolerance policy for six feet of anything). maybe it will be a skinny scarf.
enough garble.. here are the pics:
as you can see the zipper is kind of lumpy, and its pretty obvious i've got a white shirt on, but hey, thats character! sorry ofr the fuzziness, but my camera is old and can't see clearly anymore.

Why, but there is a veggie chorizo... soyrizo (http://www.melissas.com/catalog/index.cfm?Product_id=642&Info=YES")! And congrats on the sweater! It looks great!)

Maybe the sweater only looks see-through because of the camera flash? The fit looks great, nice job!

It looks great to me and it sounds like you're having a good summer. That's just what summers are for.

Your UA looks great. Love the color choice. I thought you finished this wicked fast, I'm amazed (and jealous) you could have knit faster.

Sweater looks great! If you can't get veggie chorizo in your area, send me your address and I will ship you some (cold packs and all). We love it!
