I Will Not Be Defeated!

A week after I ripped out almost two entire pieces of a sweater, I'm back... and they are back and better than ever!

I refuse to be defeated by this sweater. I'm so tired of it by this point, but I'm just pushing through. Only two 3/4 length sleeves to go now and I'm done.

With all of my frustrations on this project I haven't even talked about what it will be! This is going to be the "T-Shirt Sweater" from Ella Rae Book 1 in the new Atacama 100% Alpaca yarn. Eventually it will look like this... hopefully by this time next week.

The upside to all of this is that the yarn is beautiful and nice to work with. It would be really nice knit tighter at a DK gauge, and is loose and flowy at the called for 4.5 st/inch gauge. The other upside is that, this yarn is beautiful and really reasonable, especially for hand painted alpaca... it's only $8 a skein! Go check it out for yourself! Go, right now!
