I wore the sweater to work today, in celebration (and relief. plus, I hadn't done laundry). I'm really happy with the way it looks and the way it fits, except that I think the sleeves might be too short.
I'm going to wash it before I make any decisions (it's superwash, it might grow. and no, I didn't swatch). If it doesn't grow adequately, I'll probably cut the cuffs off, knit the sleeves a few inches longer, and then graft the cuffs back on. Fortunately, that isn't a decision that has to be made now. For now, I'm basking in the glory of Olympic gold.

Congratulations on your beautiful sweater! I don't know how you do it. A baby onesy was all I could manage during the Olympics.
gorgeous! A well deserved victory!
gorgeous sweater! Lots of work! I wish I could knit, but never learned how. I guess I best stick to paint brushes and sewing machines. lol
Wow, what a prolific knitter you are and the sweater is beautiful. It takes me a month to knit a sweater.
