Cambridge is Back!
Just a quick post today - no, it hasn't just been all-socks, all-the-time around here, I actually finished something else! (It's the back of the Cambridge Jacket - just two sleeves and two fronts to go.)
(Okay, well I haven't actually finished anything. But this sweater is so large I think I'm going to have to treat each piece as a separate project or I'll lose all motivation.)
I like how the colors came out - no major pooling but not too "patterned" either - I hope the other parts of the sweater look similar!
I'm doing good on my running this week, too - tune in tomorrow to find out more!

It looks great! I love the way the variegation is showing up on this!

It did turn out very well! That pooling on selfstriping can be so strange on some items. I don't blame you on counting a back as a practical FO, guys sweaters can be so huge and monotonous.

This is going to be a great sweater. I love the variegations! I hope Matt does too ;)

The color is gorgeous. I agree with thinking of each piece as a seperate project - it helps with the motivation.

Your hubby is a lucky man.

I'm a person who definitely needs milestones to stay motivated! I think the back of the sweater looks great.

I support treating separate pieces as finished objects. This is going to be a great looking sweater!

looking good, Zarah! Sadly, my Cambridge Jacket is hidden in the plastic box sitting in my husband's office now (it's in an opaque bag and he's not the type to snoop). I'll have to get back to it soon!
Funny, I started with the fronts because the back seemed like such a huge endeavor.
