the sweater I fell into

This is the sweater I fell into.  Other then finding the right buttons, because the ones I thought would work are really not going to, and a few ends to weave in, it is done.

The funny thing about this sweater is that it is all yarn I spun.  I had points where I needed to spin more yarn because I was out of the main color.  I still have more of that fleece. 

The shape is called a "boyfriend sweater."  It is oversize but the shoulders fit just right.  It is heavy.  I actually wore it a bit around the office this afternoon because the air conditioning made me feel very cold after being outside.  I like how it engulfs me.  Engulf is a good description.  I probably look like a little girl in it.  I have gotten carded and gotten called Miss recently.  The world is odd.

It was actually an interesting pattern to work.  I did make the comment to my Beloved that I really need to do one part once and then do it again right because I will have figured it out.  I am thinking about another.

I am gallivanting for almost two weeks starting tomorrow.  I am so excited I did not pack anything tonight because it would have met I would want to leave this evening.  Durango first, and then the coast.  There was a stop that I was hoping to make but it does not look like it is going to happen.  Just life.  I am taking fiber, my drop spindle, a crochet hook, and my Sunshine sweater to take apart.  Who knows what I will really come back with!

Send me smile and prayers for a safe trip please.  I will be smiling big.
