Picture of me wearing Stormy Wildflowers:
I knit this sweater with several inches of negative ease but as you can see, the fabric is quite light without much structure so it quickly becomes loose. Any bigger and I would be ripping it out. The sleeves are loose but better than the body of the sweater. The dolcino has better memory than the Maya.
Since I don't want to start another new project until I finish at least one or two more UFOs I resurrected Shelagh from the depths of the "projects past" drawer. I ripped the right front back to the fold line with the intention of re-knitting the top section correctly. However when I started to actually measure what I had and knit, I discovered that the entire thing was wonky so I ended up ripping the entire right front and starting over. I knit from the shoulder through the armhole shaping last night, 87 rows, but many of those rows are quite narrow. Now I'm on the thicker, double section which will take a while longer. This time however, I shall knit with thought and do it right.

The Wildflower looks great! And I like that asymmetrical haircut — it’s new, isn’t it?

It looks great on you! You look wonderful. Your hair looks quite long to me.

Kudos to you for dipping into the UFO pile and finishing things. I really like the look of this sweater. AND! love the backdrop for the photoshoot.

Thanks for the compliment
on the sweater. Yes, Ive been growing out the hair and it tends
naturally to a side part and a wave on one side, although it is fine enough
that I have to help it if I want anything longer than a pixie cut.
Thanks Gina. My hair
feels quite long to me as well. I was intentionally growing it out, and I
think Ive gotten to about maximum comfort, but who knows. I still fret
over whether it is better at this length or shorter, not that it is long, as
long hair goes, but it may be as long as I can cope with. I did want it
long enough to pull back, which it is, barely for a short ponytail, and perhaps
a really messy updo, but nothing fancy.
Thanks Carolyn and Luni
