Is Don(e), Is Good

There are some things in the blog world you learn pretty quickly. And one of those things is that people finish stuff at a cracking pace. There are some people who seem to be posting pictures of FO's every week. This is largely, I figure, because people have an extraordinary amount of Works In Progress. I've not been a huge one for this, mainly because I'm not terribly good at finishing stuff if I have too much on the go.

I've posted a lot about wool purchases....which is damn important stuff (right??), and rambled a lot about what I would like to make, as if that somehow validates everything as 'real'. But it's been a while since I posted a finished object that was actually knitted. Today, however, I present to you - the finished Rowan Marshall.

Since it was a glorious spring day, we spent the morning blocking. Master M helped, erm, umm, press? the jumper, ahermmm.

And helped measure it all up while I pinned.

I've had a love/hate relationship with this jumper - it's been a joy and a trial and I'm bloody glad its finished. Its not a difficult pattern, but its incredibly time consuming, and unforgiving of mistakes. However the results when finished are really very nice. It's taken just over 2 months to do, and the sense of 'getting my life back' is immense!! And the Rowan Wool Cotton has been really nice to work with. Master M better well wear it till it's threadbare!

His shoes were clean, by the way.
