It may be a stupid sweater, but that first shot of you? Wow! You look fantastic!

Bah Humbug. Commiserations!! Fifi looks beautiful too, all Springy and the mauve colour will look so nice.

Well, at least you know you will have enough yarn. It could be worse. It will be finished soon.

You're in raglan hell and I am in sleeve hell. 2 sleeves knit a total of 5 times. I could have been done with the kid sweater by now!! Better luck, karma, fate this time.

mmm I always have to opposite problem raglans that are tooo tight on me. NOw I know why i stick to mens patterns. Atleast you could fix it up.

I hate that! As soon as you state something about finishing, then, of course, the opposite occurs. Stupid sweater, but at least you can fix it.

The Knitting Gods sure have a warped sense of humor. It's going to be beautiful though. What a great color.

I am sure the sweater will turn out beautifully, and the color really suits you too. I love the color of the Calmer as well, and I am sure you are dying to start knitting with it.

It's an Angora Supreme thing, I'm sure.
I still have a sleeve to go, and the one I thought I finished.......... well, it's not finished after all. A Smidgen too short.

I can't wait to see your sweater all done and I am wishing I had stashed more of this yarn than the few odd balls I grabbed.

Oh Gods I'm glad someone else does stuff like this. :o) It does look beautiful on you though. It's going to be worth the effort because it will be fantastic. :o)

I am really behind because this is the first time I've seen Fifi. It's a pretty sweater and is going to look great in the Calmer. The blue angora sweater looks good on you too. And omg, look how thin you are!

wow...that sweater is looking really good!! and it fits you well too!!!

Stupid knitting Gods! Wonderful color on you.

Oh both of them are pretty, the Angora Supreme and the new one will be absolutely gorgeous!!

A bugger it :( Hope you've recovered quickly - knowing how fast you knit, you must just about be done by now!

That is just the prettiest color for you! The Chiffon is nice too!

Don't let it get you down. That colour is lovely on you! Make sure you show us when it's done.

The sweater looks good on you & I am sure you can fix the problem. Fifi looks great & I love the color of your Rowan Calmer. Good luck on the Angora!

Lucky you! the yarns look pretty!
And OMG the sweater looks awesome on you!! Can't wait to see how to finish the collar. Good luck with it!

lovely knitting and lovely blog. i just finished reading all of it.

your work is beautiful and your family is cute.

i have the most boring job in the world and so i read knitting blogs all day at work. ho hum. but that way i can knit after work on MY time.

when i was a kid we had friends whose grandparents lived in Australia. it took me many years and many headaches to understand how their christmas gifts came wrapped in paper that did not have snow and such on it. did you celebrate christmas in july? did they have to look at all the gifties for six months and not open them until december? very confusing as a kid.

i want to come to australia someday. maybe see you then!

So close! The color looks great on you! And I love your hair straight. You can alway cheat and start on Fifi but tomorrow definitely knit on the Angora tunic. BTW, you are looking great! Congrats on the weight loss!

Ooh I might have done the same thing.....Spinning Gods though..
You are looking smashing,well done(jumper as well) love the style of it though you'll work out the raglans 'cause your clever!!!
