For all intents and purposes, Glee  is finished. It’s cute. It doesn’t actually make me look like an extremely uncomfortable person going to an 80?s theme party.

This little adventure has proved to me that I really need to get better at self-photography (or at least, setting up a good photo for someone else to snap). Also, taking the photo right after trying and retrying the sweater for the fasteners might not have been such a hot idea. I look like I’ve forgotten how to operate a hairbrush.
Some info:
Pattern: Glee
Yarn: 7 skeins of Misti Alpaca Suri Silk in Ruby
Needles: Size 5 circulars, extremely annoying 4-needle set of sz 5 dpns.
Time: About 3 weeks. Would have been less, except for some resize/gauge/alteration/blocking frustrations.
Alterations: Widened the sleeve to accommodate my sexy bulging biceps. Added waist shaping, though in hindsight this was not really necessary. Waist shaping has become a reflex! I can’t help it! Also, the sleeve length. For any parties interested in adding sleeves, each 3/4 fitted sleeve required approximately 100 yds of extra yarn.
