I then remembered that one of my LYS mentioned that they had a woman who, for money, of course, would finish up half started projects. Well - no one for Mission Possible defined HOW the projects were to be finished, did they?! So I sent it off. And yesterday, I picked it up. I love it.
Funny, it's a little bit smaller than I have been making my latest sweaters - and it looks great. I think I need to remember this for future sweaters. It even has a hood!
Specs (Which I can barely remember)
Yarn: Davos, by Tahki Yarns, color 18 (discontinued). I got this at Webs on my very first visit there.
Pattern: BPT from Knitty, used a size 6 needle. Most of the knitting was done on my trip to China in 2004. I only brought one needle with me, so when I realized that I wasn't getting gauge, I decided to 'fudge it'. It went surprisingly well for the body - but not so much on the arms. I'm so glad I decided to let someone else deal with this crisis instead of ripping it out. The yarn is soft and wonderful, and the sweater fits just right!
Here are a few more goofy pictures - it's what happens when you ask Aaron to 'help'...
You want me to unzip?
Ta da!

It looks fantastic. You are quite the model! ;)
Yay.
One WIP down!
I'm tempted to follow your plan...
I have some Mission Possible work to do that still seem onerous.
Very cute! And what a great idea - she actually finished it (not just put it together)?
Da Daa DAAH... It looks great!
I love it. And I am definitely all for whatever works.
A nice quick way to turn a WIP into a FO! Nothing wrong with that. Looks great!
I love it! And who cares if you had some help. What's important is that it's done!
hooray! i remember when we got that yarn - i had enough to knit a sweater, and have enough left to knit another one! (so if anyone wants it... it's going cheap...)
Looks great!
I'd much rather get a little help than have a guilt inducing UFO glaring at me.... Well done.
I love that you had so much fun with your photo shoot. Definately gave me a giggle.
Love the third picture! Congrats on a finished project (and one last bag in the knitting room :)
That looks great. Score one for for the FO's!
