Business knitting!

Who speaks limited French and has a sweater soaking in the tub in preparation of blocking? This moi!

Please see this very wonderful photo taken in my very dusty, very small mirror. (Please also pretend that my hair is brushed and I have an utterly charming expression on my face. Thanks!)

I love the neckline. Very flattering on little shoulders like mine.

Things left to do:

let it dry
weave in ends
attach buttons

Now I'm off to rinse it out, wrap it in a towel, and stomp on it. Ha! Knitting is so violent sometimes.

ETA: Sometimes it freaks me out a little when I upload a photo to Flickr and it's viewed multiple times before I even have time to tag it and add a description.

Isn't it great? After I started this project ( a year ago, ugh) I went on a teal buying spree. The inside of my purse is teal, my bedspread is teal, I've got a couple teal shirts . . . actually, I think that's it. But for a couple months there, I went, "It's teal! I must have it!"

I'm kind of on a purple spree myself right now. Everything at work is purple and I must have it all, though I know in a few weeks I'll be wondering why the hell I have so much purple.

Hee. I have days where I go, "Should I wear my teal shirt or my teal shirt?"

Thank you! I wore it to work today, and was lavished with compliments. Very encouraging!
