Victory!!!

*Whew* <-- Big sigh of relief.

I.. just finished the knitting on Aunt Faye's gift.

I couldn't be any more relieved. After the frogging I was quite concerned that I wouldn't finish.. Turns out that frogging was the best idea I had.. cause the smaller size knitted up MUCH faster. My left thumb hurts but I don't intend to knit anything tomarrow so I think it'll be able to rest.

I tried the thing on and it's a bit big on me, but it didn't fall off my shoulders. This leads me to believe that it will fit Aunt Faye.

Brad says it's hidious.. and I dunno.. I'm not sure how I feel about it. I wouldn't wear it.. but I'm hoping real hard that Aunt Faye will like it. (Which is what really matters.)

Sorry that I don't have a knitting victory picture... Brad is on the other computer (with the camera cord.) so I can't get any out of the camera. This will soon be solved as my camera gadget is on it's way to me via UPS (Ugh.. I hate UPS.)

But anyway.. tomarrow I'll be finishing it up. Weaving in the ends (somehow.. I'm not sure even how to do it with this crazy yarn and pattern.) and making and putting on the fringe. The fringe'll be fun........ Right.

I'm gonna use that fringe trick where you cut a piece of cardboard the length that the fringe is supposed to be, and then cut along the edges. Or is that half the length so you only cut one edge? Yeah.. I think that makes sense.

Maybe I'll look it up before I whip out the scissors.

Anyway.. I feel as if a huge load is lifted off my needles.. I'm SO glad to get that stupid project finished..

All this just reminds me how much I love my Aunt Faye (and Mammy too.) if it wasn't for them I prolly woulda thrown the whole mess in the garbage can. Lol.

After I'm done with this thing I'll need to do some serious vacuuming.. This mohair-wannabe yarn has gotten hair ALL over the couch.. It reminds me of having a cat.. allthough I never had a long haired cat. I also have hair on my clothes.. Good thing I have a good lint roller.

Lets all hope Aunt Faye likes this thing.. I sure did work hard on it.
