Sweater on the block (so to speak)

Sweater on the block (so to speak)

: sedens; October 13th, 2006

Current Mood:: sleepy

Anybody think you might want this one? Foldover crewneck, back snap closure. "Weathered" navy and silvery gray yarns are acrylic; cream and tan are wool. The usual price: $40 shipped in the US, $42 international, or if you have stuff to swap, LMK! I think this one would fit an SD16 best, though it's okay on a Dollshe (as you can see) and oversized in a cute way on an SD13 boy (though I tend to think everything looks cute on Flynn). I still need to do the finishing, wash it, and block it--though I probably won't get that done this weekend, thanks to a slug of grading and prospective-student visits tomorrow.

It is be-u-ti-ful. My Hound loves his sweater and since a cold front finally came through . . . he's ready to try it on for a photoshoot. :)

I'm *very* glad the sweater suits your handsome gentleman! I still need to get more of that sportweight yarn, but it's going to be a while before I'm near a yarn shop and can finger and feel and compare, *sigh*.

Hey I need your advice. I am getting ready to order my Saint some glasses from Leekeworld. Which size should I order? The SD13 boy size or the SD boy size or the MSD boy size. My thought is to try the SD boy size. HELP!! ;)

SD boy size, DEFINITELY--that's the size that Atsumori wears. After too many disappointments with oversized glasses, I emailed Leeke and asked what they would recommend for Hound and Saint, and they told me to order the SD rather than the SD13.

Awwww, thanks! I wish I had more patience to design nifty unusual shapes and things, but . . . I'm stuck in the 1950s, what can I say? ;-0

Kapono is living in his sweater. This new one is gorgeous. Of course I'm broke right now.

It's those adoption fees--they do add up! ^_^ I'm excited about seeing all the new additions to your resin family, and, believe me, there will be more sweaters where this one came from . . . I keep looking at my yarn stash and thinking hmmmm, THAT color with THIS color, maybe . . .

Atsumori would be much, MUCH happier if I would leave him in his hakama all the time, or else a pair of raggedy jeans and no shirt . . . notice the furious glare in the second picture . . . ;-)
