Knit, Swirl

Knitting finished, ready to weave in ends.
Random ladybug on the kitchen table!
 The minute I finished I pinned it together 
with locking stitch markers 
and tried it on.  I couldn't wait.  
If you look in the bottom left corner, 
you'll see that Tucker photo bombed my picture!
The only place this would fit to soak was the kitchen sink!
I blocked it out using the schematic in the book and blocking wires.  As you can see the sweater had to continue on two tv trays!  I put a fan on the sweater to quicken the drying process. It worked like a charm.  The sweater was dry in 36 hours.


Voila!
