Yarnarchy!

So, i'm making a sweater! Finally! I've been knitting for probably 5 years now (yea, OMG, that many already? Wow.) and have yet to knit a project as big as a sweater. I started a blanket... it's about a foot and a couple inches long now. Considering i started it for a friend's sister's wedding present, and it's been at least 3 years since then, it's probably going to take me 12 years to finish, at this rate!!! Lol. It's just boring to knit the same 4 row patten over and over again for about 4 feet of knitting. I'll knit about 4" and get sick of the darn thing, put it away and forget it for a few months to a year. The last i worked on it was when i moved out here to vegas, which was a year ago last week. Time is funny; a year seems so long, until it's over, and then it seems like no time at all. Well, i digress. Some project details: Pattern: Janda from Knitty Yarn: Caron Simply Soft. Black. Guage: 18sts/24 rows = 4 inches in stockinette sti
