They're Done!













And turned in. Whew!

What do you get when you combine seed stitch, naughty yarn, three individual frog sessions, and different dye lots?

One very relieved-that-these-are-done knitter!

To those who asked, I was knitting sleeves for a sweater with the Feza Dazzle yarn.

A week ago my boss asked me if I could help him out with a project for a Twin Cities-based celebrity. He was going to do the body of the sweater and asked if I could knit up the sleeves.

So here they are:













And a close up shot to see the textures of the different fibers:













This yarn drove us both crazy! All those different fibers took white differently, so in some places it looks stark white, some a gray white (that's mostly because of the silver strands in those areas), and other places it just looks yellow.

BUT, when I started the new skein, from there UP looks perfectly snow white! Steven and I are so frustrated with the difference in the dye lots.

Anyway. So these were all I knit this past week. I'm glad to have them done.
