Little Shoulder Preview
I buckled down and finished up the straps of my Summer Sweater while watching the Tigers finish their SWEEP OF THE CUBS! It motivated me to knit very fast, football fast! I also seamed it up the sides, which matched up perfectly! I am so so happy with every aspect of this pattern I am beside myself with joy right now. The sides seamed perfectly, the strap seamed up relatively easily, considering I had to measure and remeasure to make sure one sleeve wasn’t longer than the other.
Pretty Pretty!
Seriously? Seriously? I mean. Seriously. LOOK HOW CUTE THAT IS! I’m looking down at myself right now, admiring how cute I look in this top. (Also, look at how hot my shoulders are. Thank you, X Sport Fitness)
I know you all want to knit this top now, so email me and I’ll send you the pattern.
It is too bad that the amazing feeling of finishing this sweater is being trumped by Michael Jackson dying. Not in a selfish way. It is really heartbreaking. It’s like the ’80s dying. He could be Madonna-ing it out, doing yoga and looking better than he did 20 years ago. Instead he crazy-ed himself to death.
But, my sweater is done. And I’m wearing it tonight, and will inevitably dance to Thriller. For Michael.
OMG! I love your sweater. Now I really wish I knew how to knit. That is just amazing!
And poor Micheal. He was such an amazing talent (so many, many wonderful songs!) but he lived such an unfortunate personal life. It’s so sad.

Love love love that you are a Tiger fan in Chicago! So are my husband and I. We are originally from Michigan living in Chicago now. Also, love the sweater. I’ve always wanted to learn how to knit. Would it be harder for me to learn since I’m left handed?
