So thankful to my Heavenly Father for gracing me with patience, determination, and mental fortitude to complete my husband's Christmas sweater!! Thanks Cobi for the prayers and encouragement. Since I began to machine knit in 2008, I have learned much more than techniques. Like any gifting from my God, there are so many characters lessons that are bonuses in the process. Naturally, I wanted to critique the fit (shorten the sleeves for one, one notch lower on tension for ribbing), however, overall the fit is great. I find my husband has to endure the same challenges that I do when fitting and therefore, adjustments will be in length a bit. This was a good week's work, probably about 12 hours if I worked straight through. Gauge, swatches, measurements techniques, all important elements...of course, this is preaching to the choir for those experienced MKers out there!
Victory is so satisfying - Hallelujah!! Blessing to you all...trust you had a Christ-centered Christmas!
Stay tuned -- we have just begun -- thank you Lord!
