After three and a half months of working on this (in which both the back and one sleeve had to be completely dismantled at various points), I have finally completed work on John Watson’s cabled sweater from A Study in Pink. (pattern source) I used three balls (they’re huge) of Lion Brand Yarn’s Fisherman’s Wool yarn in “natural”, so it’s undyed. Basically 1,395 yards of yarn. I chose the option where both sides were knitted separately and sewn together.

However, I live in Tennessee. It is July. It is also 90+ degrees Fahrenheit out. I had that sweater on for about twenty minutes last night to take the pictures (apologies for the blurry bits) and this was me when I took it off:

I can’t wait to wear it everywhere in the fall. Best part? The pattern was already in my size, so I didn’t have to resize it.

*clears throat* Wouldn’t be opposed to taking a commission or two for this.
