I did it!
I finished something. Whew! Maybe this will break the finishing log jam. :)
Stats:
Pattern: Linea Rossa booklet (edited to be knit in the round, with top down sleeves)
Yarn: Jaeger Shetland Aran, 7 1/2 skeins
Needles: US 8
And look over at the Rainey Sisters' blog! Susan, sweetheart that she is (or maybe she was feeling guilty for being a shameless temptress? *I'll* never know *g*) posted a little blurb from Knitters Magazine about my pins. It's particularly cool, because I have yet to get a copy! And did you read over on the Yarn Harlot's blog that she was starstruck by Susan when they met? Is that cool or what?! :)

I like the shape of that - not too long and baggy. I hope you'll get some weather for wearing it come next fall.
Your new sweater looks great!
I didn't know your pins had been featured in Knitters - congratulations!
Your sweater is absolute knitting perfection: the pattern, the knitting, the fit and the construction are fabulous. I have been so anxious to see it done -- now get to that Peacock Shawl!! XXXXX XXXXX XXXXX XXXXX -- these are my crossed fingers and toes that my peacock yarn arrives today!
Beautiful sweater, Romi! I predict that this one is going to get lots of wear; it looks so comfy! Congrats on more national exposure for your pins.
I Love it Rosemary!! It couldn't be more perfect! AND...congrats on getting it done...Perseverance, again..pays off! And, something new in your closet...as you would say...Yahoo!!
Wow, that is *gorgeous* and a lovely colour. Well done in finishing, aren't you glad you kept going?
The mail has come and gone -- no peacock :(.
What a great sweater, comfy and gorgeous. I love how you figured out a seamless construction. Congratulations on the Knitter's mention too! You are climbing fast...
Wow! I mean, absolutely and totally: WOW!!! You know that I'm totally in love with this sweater since I saw your first progress pics - this is definitely one of the most beautiful ones I've seen for long! And you knit it up so perfectly, it looks stunning indeed! Perfect shape, awesome colour, beautiful pattern - yep, it's perfect! Congratulations on an awesome accomplishment!
Gorgeous! A perfect example of a fabulous knit sweater that I can't even get jealous over, because it will look stunning on you, and uhh, not so good on me! (this keeps me from wanting everything...)
I'm so glad to hear that word is getting out about your pins! Good news all round!
Cute sweater! Congratulations!
Fab sweater! I love the colour.
And woohoo for pin publicity!
It looks great! I love the color.
Cute! If I wore that I'd look like the michelin man. :)
You have been good. You did good too. It is a great design and wonderfully knit. The orange color is perfect. The shape of the sweater is just wonderful. Oh, if I only had a waist! (g)
I took the link to Lana Grossa but didn't find that booklet.
Terrific designs.
That's a very smart looking sweater.
Congrats on all the good press, you deserve it!
Congratulations! Wow, look at that. Gorgeous!
What a great match of color and design. You wear it well!
