Mom’s sweater is still coming along. Only a few more centimeters to go before starting armholes. This sweater and I have come to an understanding, and things are progressing smoothly.

Yesterday, out of the kindness of her heart, Crystal left this link in the comments in response to my distress at knitting a sweater for my mom who is very much smaller than me and a 7 hour drive away. I wanted to share it with you all because I think it is the coolest thing ever. What a great reference for fitting something to an exact body shape! Considering that I will never be a “normal” shape, regardless of my weight (due to an extremely large chest), having a life-size form of myself will be very handy. Now I just need to get my very busy mom in Oregon to do it and ship it up. Not likely.

So, would you like to see the object of my envy on the blogs nowadays?

When Nate first brought Rebecca #27 home for me (for those of you who are new, my Hubby brings home knitting books and mags on a regular basis. He rocks.), I really wanted that sweater (the one on the left). Now, seeing it realized on a few blogs, it is making me crazy with desire. I think it is SO beautiful. I’ve been on a lot of blogs recently and I can’t remember what’s where, so I am undoubtedly forgetting someone, and I apologize. Becky is knitting it, and Clara is knitting it. If anyone else is, please let me know. I’d love to see as many of them as possible. I guess I’m in to self torment, because this sweater will most certainly not fit me, and therefore, I can’t knit it. I take that back, if anyone wants to purchase the yarn (like people I’m related to, I’m not that weird) I’d happily knit it for you.

Also, please note, I was a code monkey yesterday and got my Health Group info in the side bar! Hooray for me! My sidebar is still boring and sparse, but I successfully changed it, and I’m very proud of my computer illiterate self.
