Once I got the pattern figured out, the whole thing only took me about a week. Of course, that could have something to do with how ridiculous I've allowed my queue to become and how eager I was to move on to the next project. But now it's done and I've sent it back to Knit One Crochet Too along with my swatch and the leftovers. I got an email from them the other day--they were very pleased with my work and asked if I want to do more in the future! How cool is that?? I've already been paid for this piece, but I don't know what/when the next project will be. I'll keep you posted.
This one was a pretty fun knit, which could have something to do with how fast it was! The yarn was not my first choice, I mean, microfiber orange? I will grant that it is soft and I'm sure that color looks good one someone, but that someone is not me.
However, I do like the wave pattern--no cables, just increases and decreases:
If I were to knit this pattern again, I would have to make some changes, like waist shaping, bring the neckline down, and finish the armhole edges. It's a good basic pattern and would be good for someone who wants to learn a simple cable without worrying about shaping the sweater.
I can't wait to see what they have next!
For next time: as you recall, Hubby and I decided to put off house hunting in favor of paying for his tuition while he studies to get his CPA, which means we've renewed our lease in our current apartment for another year. Next time I'll take you for a tour around the place and show you some before and after decor shots. Get excited--I'm really proud of some of my improvements!
Cheers,

Loved that you finished it, and they want you to do more! Crossing my fingers it's something in a different color!
