I absolutely loved knitting this sweater, even the miles of endless seed stitch. I developed a rhythm rather quickly. I do knit English and throw my yarn, even though I know how to knit Continental, I am working on evening out my stitches ( I purl tighter than I knit). This sweater will be perfect for my upcoming move to Seattle, the weather there will actually allow me to wear it quite often.
As I was getting ready to leave SnB this morning, Beth saw a picture sitting in my lap. Currently, all my projects go perfectly with my purple Jordana Paige Satchel, so Beth and I felt the need to capture the shot to share.

I am so glad you decided to use that oh-so-sassy picture! You give Zoolander a run for his money. The sweater is simply stunning, and I'm glad your celtic knot doesn't look like a talking you-know-what. Just as beautiful!
Love that sweater, and am still in awe of the two week timeline! All that seed stitch... I do feel like the cheerleader/midwife though!
Wow! What a beautiful sweater. That'll keep you toasty warm up north. I, too am in awe of you and your knitting talent.
Oh, one more thing, I bet Jillian will be loving all the pretty purples hue's in the bag. LOL Hi Jillian! Great idea for the picture, Beth.
Beautiful sweater Marie! You look smashing, dahling. :) I love it!
Beautiful sweater! 2 weeks??? Whoa. Crazy. Bummed I didn't get to see you (and it) yesterday!

Smashing sweater! Perfect for your soon to be PacWest autumn.
