Sweater Update

On February 1st I shared a picture of this with you:

My goal was to knit the February Lady Sweater by March 1st. A seemingly daunting task as February is a short month. But I was up for the challenge.
Thankfully, many people kept excellent notes from when they knit the FLS! They helped me get through the yolk as it seemed a few people encountered trouble with number of stitches, etc.

You may remember I encountered SEVERAL nights of ripping. I looked forward to the evening hours because I could focus. Imagine how frustrating it was when at least 3 WHOLE evenings were spent ripping. Ugh. There was a moment where I considered throwing it and then stuffing it in a drawer so I would never have to look at it again.

But I made a goal and darn it, I was going to do it!!! Thanks to SO much encouragement from many YOP members, other bloggers, family, friends and an awesome hubby, I finished the body of the sweater Sunday the 26th.And could not WAIT to start the sleeves!!!

Now the question is, did I finish the sweater by today, March 1st?

HECK YES I DID!!!
Come back later to see if it fits!!!
