If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you might remember the sweater I promised to knit Aaron last year for his birthday. I got the yarn last September and worked as fast as I could to try and finish it before his guy’s trip in October but just couldn’t knit fast enough. Well, I finished the whole sweater during the week of his trip, and then the darn thing sat in a basket for almost a year waiting for me to put a zipper in it.
Fast forward to about a month ago, when I pulled it out to get it finished for this year’s guy’s trip.
Finally finished
Done just in the nick of time
That darn zipper probably took forever to sew in, though. A real labor of love.
But it looks pretty good, no? And he’s happy with it. Even if the sleeves are a little too long

Teresa. I love love love love love it!!!! Aaron is so lucky to have a wife that can make sweet stuff like that. If only I could do cool things like that. way to go! I seriously love the sweater, and you know that is totally keeping him warm on his trip. I am very very impressed!! PS, tell Aaron I give him credit for his beard. Brian said he had a sweet one.

That is awesome Teresa!! Nathan told me all about the sweater when he called and said how nice and good looking it was! And it looks wonderful! So impressed as always! I think Nathan looks like Aaron with them both having beards!! We need to get a picture of them together with their beards!
