This is it. The last stretch of this epic adventure and I’m terrified. Sewing is not one of my skills. I’m capable enough, but am severely lacking in practice. I want to get this right.

This sweater and I have been through a lot together. Buying a house. Moving. Kidney stones. Hectic life. No more plum yarn anywhere. Changing gears and making many mistakes in my eagerness. Now I’m just sitting here staring at it, frozen.

I mean, I thought I was done when I sewed the last button hole. But when I put it on, my hands kept searching for pockets. Knitting them up was a delight. And I’m really happy with the mix of cables I chose. I just hope my sewing is strong enough to hold up and straight enough to look even.

Ok. Deep breath. I can do this.
