The peacock sweater is finally done done done!
I used almost every bit of nine skeins of Patons Grace in Viola. Near the end, I was using the little scraps I'd cut from other parts of the sweater to finish the arms. I was afraid they were going to be too short, but they ended up perfect bracelet-length after blocking.
However, I miscalculated where my elbows would be. I should have trusted my measurements and not my pre-blocked sweater. The elbows are a tiny bit baggy, but when I have the sweater on with a shirt, they fit just fine. Whew! I was afraid I'd have to re-crochet them.
These first two photos of me laughing were taken right after Andrew said, "This looks like the cover of an album I would never buy." Ha! I got a huge case of the giggles!
We took these in the courtyard of our apartment building. I didn't know there would be these gorgeous flowers out there. The lavender blooms match my sweater perfectly!
It was around 6 or 7 PM when we took these and it was pretty cool out. The sweater was perfectly comfy. It's going to be great in the winter when it's chilly out. And, since it's cotton, it won't overheat me when I'm inside where the heat is on.
I love this sweater!
