I have been working away at this one for a long time. You wouldn’t think a plain stocking stitch heavy worsted sweater would take so long. I finally finished all the knitting today. Here it is (minus one sleeve-not enough clips!)
Now it goes into the washing machine for a soak, then blocking, then sewing together. I think my old friend will look dashing in his Old Friend!

Finishing a sweater is so satisfying!
Ah, the bemusing life of a knitter’s spouse… 🙂
Nice sweater! I know John can’t wait to wear it. 🙂
He looks so happy!!
I love it and I think the blue color is an awesome choice for Jon.
Miles of stockinette just beg for the knitter to take a break — lace, socks, anything but miles of stockinette! That’s why it has taken so long to finish this. I empathize. But the sweater looks great!
