All done and off
The cardigan's finished, as of last night, and it's sitting (damply) on a judging table at the fairgrounds.
I was really unhappy with the arms -- both the sleeves and armscyes just stink. Partly my skills (I kept thinking about all the advice about poor finishing ruining a good knitting job) and partly because the sleeves were too big at the top. Too big for a good fit either on me or into the arm holes.
I may get out the sewing machine after the fair and have a go at it. It's already cut; I don't see that I can ruin it any more. But I'll ask a more experienced finisher for advice first.
It sure is pretty, though.

If you don't win a Blue ribbon, I'm calling foul! Can't wait to see it at the Fair!!
It's beautiful! seems perfect. Good luck with the fair.
I'm in awe. It is just stunning. It's hard for me to believe that a few finishing flaws would even be noticeable. Let us know how you come out.
Hip, Hip, Hooray!! I think it looks amazing!
Absolutely gorgeous.
I'm sorry about armscye problem, though--I can really feel you on that, since I frequently have similar issues. The armscye/sleeve fit is my downfall.
I have to look up armscye. It is a nice word on the eyes. Good luck at the fair! We head home tomorrow. Can I still see it at the fair next week?
It's so pretty! I hope you win!
It's looks fantastic! Superb! If you don't like it you can send it to me. My address is...
You're much to hard on yourself. I love it.
Who's gonna notice the armscyes with all that fabulous color and pattern?
I love the sweater. This one definitely has Park Day knit right into it.
It is beautiful and I miss you and the kiddos.
Congratulations on a beautiful job and on winning a Blue Ribbon at the fair. Yipeeee!
Oh, my...That is stunning! I wouldn't even worry about it fitting--I'd just frame it and put it in a conspicuous place in my house!! Fabulous!
