First of all, I want to thank all of you for your reassurances and good advice. I get a little hyper and I have PMS. You all made me feel a lot better and thanks to you I didn't have to reach for the rum xanax chocolates.

Reknitting the sleeves is definitely a sound solution to the too long sleeves. I will do this in the future, but for now I'm trying to get this fork outta my booty because I am done.

So here's what I did.

Screamed vulgarities so depraved they cannot be typed here.

Then, defuzzed.

Copious, but copious, amounts of fuzz.

And brought out the iron. Introduced iron to sweater, then closed my eyes while they made hot, steamy love. The romance of the year, people!!

So, without further ado, some pictures of Hourglass. I'm not satisfied with how it turned out, but I'm kinda drained and don't want to get started fixin'.

From the front...not so bad. Except for the sleeves. Grrrr.

Here's the real problem. The flare. One the bright side, if I get knocked up at least I have a sweater to wear. I think next time I make this sweater I will make a much smaller size. Now I have to figure out how to take this in.

Oh! Some of you asked about yarn. This is Elsepeth Lavold Silky Wool. It's DK weight, so I just fudged until I got the gauge to match. That right there could be part of the whole stretch issue, since it was so loosey goosey.

I may try pinning this down and soaking it with a spray bottle, and leaving it to dry flat once I get my Sew EZ board. Yeah....that sounds good.

Tomorrow! Cheap Yarn Review #2! Stayed tuned! You will thrill, you will chill, you will...see a picture of a swatch!
