A long long time ago . . .

A long long time ago (2008-2009ish) I began knitting one of the most fabulous sweaters in existence. The pattern was absolutely amazing; knit all in one piece, with cables and texture and darts in the waist! I wanted nothing more than to complete this sweater and wear it to flaunt my accomplishment.

I cast on and knit like a fiend over my holiday break.

But alas, I did not finish the sweater in time to debut it when I returned from work. I slowly worked my way through the rest of the body throughout the winter of 2009.

However, spring had arrived. It was far to warm to be working on such a heavy sweater. Plus, the worst part remained . . . sleeves.

The most fabulous sweater ever was put away to be replaced by lighter more "seasonally appropriate" projects (like socks). It became buried deep under piles of other projects. It was pretty much forgotten until it came time for the big move. The unfinished sweater re-surfaced, but was packed away yet again. It remained quietly packed away until a freak snowstorm came along in October resulting in a day off from work . . .

To be continued.
