FO Friday: Hardcore!!

I spent all day doing the finishing on this sweater (see previous post) and after hours of weaving in ends, seaming and re-seaming, I was finally ready to pick up and knit the collar. I was looking forward to it all day: "I can't wait to do the collar. Then I just have to pick up the stitches and finally KNIT something. No more seaming...."

don't i look smug?

Well wouldn't you just know that the pattern calls for the collar to be knitted separately and then sewn on?
Yeah. I did the most simplest of whipstitch to sew that sucker on, and thank goodness you can't tell!

I am so satisfied with this sweater. It is nice and big and cozy, and it totally has a skull on it. It's like an upgraded version of the skully sweater which I loved in the pictures but didn't work out for me in real life.

Hrm, why aren't there pictures of the back?
Shhh... I don't know how to embroider so my mom is going to do it for me when she has the time. (What?! It says "knit or die" not "embroider or die"!)
