I think she's got it!!!

I posted about this beautiful sweater pattern a long, long time ago.

(See here.)

But I never could get the sizing right, so I took a break.

Then the other day I started it up again.  My last attempt

has apparently not been so bad, because I decided it

was actually about the right size.  In the picture,

you can see my swatch that wasn't really

very helpful, one of my more sizable attempts

that isn't long enough, and the most

recent is wrapped around the 

crochet thread ball.

I think I can rework the larger of my attempts

into a nice scarf.  So that makes me happy.

I feel that all that hard work was not for

naught!!!

Mostly, I am very happy to crochet

merrily away on the sweater so I

can actually get to wear it some day.

Have any of you been working on a

project that you just can't quite get

to work?  

I'd LOVE to hear your story!

Leave it in the comments!!!
