At last! I finally finished the Karabella sweater for my sister. I'm embarassed to confess it took me over 8 months to finish. I've never had a project last so long. In my defense, I did make several garments in between, but I feel bad that now it's done, she can't wear it. It's not exactly the type of garment one wants to wear in 96 degree heat. It was bad enough making her wear it for the photo. She's a model at heart though, don't you think; despite the heat she smiled for me.

Currently, I have two designs in the works; one for Big Girl Knits 2 and the other for JCA Reynolds. I submitted 3-4 designs to various publications knowing their deadlines would probably overlap. So far I've heard back on the two designs. Yep, the deadlines overlap. Where's the fun if there isn't the extra challenge of getting two garments knit and patterns written by the same date?
