Grace

I knit the bulk of this sweater on trips. First, to Nebraska to attend my grandmother's funeral, then to Rhinebeck, then finally on a business trip to Seattle. I love the color (poorly represented in this photo) and the cables, but the fit ended up a litle large. Most of the extra fabric is concealed under my arms, so it's still wearable.
