be careful of the curse that falls on young lovers

Hi friends! Figured I should post before too much stuff had happened and I started to forget some of it. Which may be happening already, but I'll do my best

OMG I LOOOOOOOOOVE that sweater!! What pattern did you use?? Great work!

[canadianchia]

Thanks Elisha! That means so much coming from you! It's the Lowry pullover from knit scene magazine, the fall 2011 issue. :-)

Thanks, Rob! Much appreciated. :-)

Oh my goodness, so much happy in this post!

Congrats on getting those debts paid off! I'm sure that it's a huge weight lifted off of your guy's shoulders! I hope you guys find something super fun to do with the money left over, you really deserve it.

The sweater is really awesome as well. It's so pretty! How long did it fully take you? I hope you get lots of wear out of it. You look so proud of it in the picture. :)

The yarn looks so soft and that pattern is super cute! Can't wait to see what you do with the yarn and the finished pattern!

Yeah, it's nice to write a happy post for once!

Thanks, it definitely is. Right now we've got a dinner and movie date planned for next week, and we each took a little bit of money to do our own fun thing with. Brad bought a new video game, and I've bought a reduced price ticket to Canada's Wonderland that one of my friends had access to, as well as a groupon for a concert ticket. So nothing that I can do/enjoy immediately, but things that will allow for future fun. There was also a really cute/comfy skirt at Target when I was there that I might end up going back to buy.

Thank you!! :) It took about 4.5 months from start to finish. And I will definitely get lots of wear out of it! :)

Me neither! :)

I LURRRRRVE that kind of yarn! My favorite is making things with it with a huge hook -- the fuzzy bits kind of stick together and oh it is wonderful.

[canadianchia]

Haha, good to know! I'm definitely looking forward to working with it!

I hate coming in so late to the party... but I've seen your gchat status about the sweater all week. I'm just 'behind'. lol.

The sweater looks phenomenal! Way to go! And the new fabric from Yummykit looks even softer! What are you planning on doing with it?

Bah. I think we're finally past this winter stuff!

[canadianchia]

Thank you! And yarn, not fabric, but I think I'm probably going to make a shawl or capelet to wear over my shoulders in the summer. :-)

Lol, I certainly hope so!
