Not much to look at. What you are seeing is a GORGEOUS, prime alpaca sweater (natural colored, of course). But wait. Catie.... there is a "small" problem there.
*gasp*
You are exactly right. I can't even fit my fist through the head opening. What is wrong? Off to my handy dandy sewing machine. Where I promptly broke a needle (I was a tad overzealous), learned how to dig out alpaca from a 20th century machine, change a needle and rethread the whole thing. Mind you, I have never worked that much with this appliance... and swiftly continued sewing.
A few snips. It went so quickly, and there you have it. A beautiful shot of my 30 something decolletage. No silly, my new v-neck sweater. Raglan. Fits nice. It was hot out there on the porch considering it is 85 and the alpaca.
I CAME, I SAW, I STEEKED!

woo hoo!! It's beautiful!
You are one brave woman! Steeking AND taking pictures in a wool sweater in 85 degree weather :)
Such a brave soul you are. Just not afraid of anything are you? So, this wasn't originally designed to steek? You just did it?
Congrats Catie!
Yup. I'd say BRAVE, too.
Congrats!
(especially on conquering the sewing machine *wink*)
(((Hugs)))
You STEEKED?????? THat is totally awesome! Yet another reason to adore you!
:o) Hugs!
great job! If that were me it would have either been frogged or put in the closet until I figured out what to do with it.
Hey, got your blog link thru the Blog Train on Ravelry.
Way to go on the steeking. It terrifies me to my very core. I vow never to steek. Ever.
WTG on steeking!!!!!
Hey from the Ravelry group about commenting on blogs, too!
I love the pictures of the praying mantis. Beautiful sweater too. I haven't tried steeking ---yet.
