HAPPY ENDING: The Top Down Sweater Is Finished!
I am so excited that I am actually jumping up and down here in central NJ.
See that sweater? That is my FINISHED top-down. Actally, it's Goldisox's finished top-down sweater. I managed to pry it off him for this occasion and posed it on a dressmaker's dummy that had been suitably padded to hide her curvaceous torso.
I knitted the last stich and wove the last errant thread on Valentine's Day which made it all the sweeter.
Am I proud of myself? Are you kidding? You're talking to the woman who had trouble with a washcloth!
I am delighted, over the moon, ridiculously excited, and inordinately proud every time I see Goldisox put it on. I always wondered if I was a process or a product kind of girl. Well, I found out. Knitting this was great fun but it was nothing compared to the thrill of seeing someone I love actually wear it.

Wow, Barbara! It looks absolutely fantastic! And you're right, it's great to see YOUR finished project being used by someone you love who truly appreciates it.
It's gorgeous, Barbara! I'm very impressed.
Congrats! It's lovely!!!!!!
Beautifully done, Barbara. Now you'll never want to knit sweaters any other way. I even make top-down cardigans!
Tell Goldisox he owes you one. Or ten. LOL!
It is beautiful. I wish my husband would wear knitted goods. I am so envious of you who have a hubby who will. My kids will, but I would really like to knit for him. It turned out lovely, congrats!
Beautiful!
That fabric looks lovely and the shaping is flawless. Congrats!
You are an inspiration to me to get mine finished!!
Gorgeous sweater. :)
