Substantial Completion

So here we are. 



I am so pleased.  So how come there is this? 


 The sweater remains on the needles.  

I did the bottom with one of those tricks so the ribbing doesn't flip. I really didn't want flipping for this narrow hem.  It's too lovely a sweater.  I tried the trick once before with not great results.  So... what happened this time?  Utter fail.  The flip was worse than ever before.  It's rare that I can't live with small imperfections but this?  This crossed the line.

Right after I finished the second sleeve, I ripped back the ribbing and restarted in my time honored way.  I have a few rows to go yet so while this is technically not completed, we have substantial completion.  Ish. 

As soon as this is done I am going to pull out my Mashup top from the WIPs bin.  Time to get that done.  And the I hope to whip up a couple summer things.  Maybe.  Or a blanket.  We will see. 

And just a shout out to the universe, my coffee tastes SO good this morning.
