Finished Boxed Pullover

(And hooray, I can still copy and paste photo links from Flickr at home. Maybe it's some weirdness in my work 'puter or how Firefox is configured there. I know they have some permissions set so it's hard to download or upload material - again, a case of a few bad apples (a student, some eight or nine years back, caught downloading truly nasty pornography onto one of the lab computers...) ruining it for the people who abide by the rules - and yes, "no downloading objectionable content" was an explicit rule in the TOS for the campus internet).

Anyway. I finished Boxed Raglan. It fits me less as a cropped sweater and more as a standard sweater because I am apparently shorter-waisted than the model it was shown on. (I guess most of my height is actually in my legs; my father and I have about the same inseam and he's a good half-a-foot taller than I am)



I'm a LOT happier with it now that it's finished. The colors look nicer all knit up and I actually don't think the yarn will pill as badly as I feared. (This was the "casual shot" - in the mirror, with the sweater over jeans shorts and a t-shirt)

For this one, I put on a black knit dress (That I rarely wear because I am self-conscious over how it clings, but with something over it, maybe it's okay)



It took just over six balls of the yarn for this (size 43" finished bust). If I hadn't sewn the seams with the same yarn I might have had enough, as I had to fasten on the new ball to finish the last row and bind off the neckline.

I have 3 balls (and perhaps 90-95% of a fourth) left; that's just under 400 yards so I'll have to think if there's something else I want to do with that. (I have enough scarves already....) Maybe it would be enough for a small vest, I don't know.

I have another finished item (and possibly a second, provided I get onto it again this afternoon after I pack); pictures of those will come later.
