So, I decided to finish it and actually wear it, before it got too hot outside to wear it. Spring seems to have finally sprung.... at least this past week. So, I grabbed on to the fear of not being able to wear it, and conquered it.
Here I am, clipping the pieces together, and seaming the sleeves.
Here is the completed sweater that I wore to work on Friday.
The Yarn is Malabrigo Silky Merino in "Amoroso", size 7 needles.
I didn't hesitate to cast on something new once the needle was free. I went to La Casita on Friday evening with some really great knitting friends of mine. I casted on yet another Sexy Vesty. We had such a blast. La Casita has quickly become my favorite yarn shop.

February Fitted looks so cute! I think you should take a couple more pictures with a different color shirt on underneath so we can see the stitch pattern better. You are quickly becoming the FO queen.
Craftivore, at your request, I will!
It's beautiful, Shameka! I will try to join you ladies one night at La Casita.
It looks great on you Shameka.
Beautiful lil sis! You always know exactly what to make!
Shameka,I am so floored by all your FOs right now. Way to go! They are all lovely & it's nice to see some Rhinebeck yarn in a completed sweater.
Absolutely beautiful! I concur with Misa on wearing a contrasting shirt underneath. So happy to see you on an FO roll.
It fits you perfectly and you are looking GREAT!!
You GO, gurl! That top is lookin' good! I have to get over to La Casita. How are the prices?
Very cute sweater. Great Job!!!
Didn't know you were so talented. Can't wait til you return and thanks for sharing.

Okay, I know this is an old post, but I wanted to make a comment (or two) anyway. :)
First - what a great idea to use hair clips for clippies! I have wanted to buy those fancy knitting ones, but that is a much better idea! Very cool!
Second - I am here because I am knitting that sweater right now and wanted to see yours. I want to make my sleeves long like that, too. Yours turned out beautiful. I love the amorosa color (I used it to make the Wispy Cardi last year). Gotta love Malabrigo! :)
Have a lovely day. :)
