Ding dong the Denim is dead!
Yes, yes, yes, it is finito, knitted, sewn, out of my life. Hurrah, hurrah, hear me sing from the roof tops. I finally finished that darned knit, 16 buttons!! The Technical Advisor seems pleased, although what will he moan about now? I am in heaven as I can now knit without guilt again, one sleeve left to do on Betty and I am eagerly browsing pattern books again.
The yarn is Rowan Denim, and the pattern is from Rowan People. It has been a never ending knit...... I had to make the extra large size and it was a lot of stocking stitch. To tell the truth it is a good pattern, the details are lovely and well planned but I didn't really enjoy using the Denim and there being so much of it and all that. There are some other really lovely patterns in this book, several that I fancy for myself but it will be a long time before I cast on for any of them. The Technical Advisor promises some model shots later in the week, he just needs to get his hair done first....
This week is our half-term so we have been busy with some of this.
And collecting lots of these.

Looking forward to seeing it "on".
I can't get over how green it is there! We're grey and brown and freezing, without much snow yet to cover everything up. Looks like you had a fun outdoors adventure, though. :0)
Looks like you have still great autumnal weather. We have sun over here again as well, but it has gotten pretty cold since we changed the clock to winter time on the weekend. Funny coincidence, isn't it?
Just want to say how much I like your blog. I came here via Yarnstorm and last night I browsed through your archive and read a lot and enjoyed it alot.

I'm knitting also Betty, the sleeves are soon finished. It makes me happy that you knit the same project.
If you liked, look on my blog.

I can never believe how much longer you have to knit it - so much so that the first denim sweater I knitted for my DH I only knitted to normal sweater length and when it was washed it became a crop top. Which he manfully wore at least once - it was the 80's after all !
