I'm making the Not-So-Little-One a sweater. I'm using a pink/blue denim yarn (that website might think it's purple). Wanna see?
Pretty, isn't it?
Oh, you wanted to see a sweater? Well.
See, I was very diligent about measurements. Carefully marking things. Why, I even made a swatch, and I even washed it. See?
See the notes about the washing? Oh, yes, I was very careful.
Perhaps you noticed the other, more important part of the notes:
I knitted almost all of those three balls of yarn before I realized there was a problem.
I have absolutely no idea how I missed the obvious.
The measurements? they make sense this time.

In more personal news, my qualifying work (despite my mathematical blindspot when it comes to apparel) is satisfactory: I am now ABD.
Yay! ABD!!! Time to celebrate with lots of yarn, or other goodies!

Yahoo!!! Congrats on being an official dissertator!
Someone should be around soon to teach you the secret handshake. (Um, no.) I agree with Kim. Get yarn! Yarn is good.
