Meet Vivian!

This is Vivian. The product of 2 months worth of work but it was totally worth it! As of Friday morning I was finished the shoulders and then I moved on to the hood, which felt like it took forever. I knit the rest of the day Friday, Saturday and the majority of Sunday until I was done. Today I sewed in the zipper (and badly). I harvested the zipper from a sweater that I don't wear anymore. There weren't any places near me that sold zippers, not within walking distance anyway.

The pattern was great. Only two mistakes but I believe those are fixed in the newer version of the pattern and the Vivian KAL really helped (THANKS GUYS!)! My only complaint would be that once I got to the hood it got kind of confusing because the odd rows became the right side and even rows became the wrong side. I missed a row of cables at one point and had to rip back two rows :(

Next project: something small... no more sweaters for a while
