It Fits! It Fits!

Check it out. Tom has a Cobblestone. Just need to kitchener the armpits and sew in the ends. Tom loves how it fits, and my fears of creating my first man dress have been assuaged. (Well, mostly. Hopefully it won't double in size when I wash it. Cross your fingers, will ya? Thanks.)

More details later. Now I dance the man sweater victory dance!

Tom looks fab in Cobblestone, Super work, well done, it looks really great. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you that it doesn't grow in the wash.

A handsome Cobblestone for a handsome guy! I've never seen a picture of Tom before. *rawr* ;D What a great colour on him too!! Congrats on another beautiful finish. I'm sure there won't be any man-dresses for Tom, but I'll cross everything I have just for you. Hee hee!

It looks like a great fit! I hope it doesn't grow with the blocking. :)

It's perfect! Even if it does grow a bit - there's always the dryer trick!

Great sweater. Great guy! He's even more handsome in a handsome handknit! Nice work. Considering all your fits and do-overs with this piece, it turned out beautifully. Yippee! "Stick a fork in it."

Congrats and it looks great. And what is the deal with Tom?!?! I swear the man looks the same as when I first met him (sans ponytail of course!) And let's not talk about how long ago THAT was...

WOW! That is one awesome way to break the sweater curse. I'm soooooo glad it fits him too. Man dress? Too funny.

The sweater turned out great! Joey the square seems to be enjoying it in the background too! Now I'm gonna go do my "don't grow in the wash" dance for you.

Annette said...

Woohoo! Sweater curse be damned! It looks fantastic on Tom. Is he blushing yet from all of the comments about how handsome he is? ;) I'm crossing my fingers for ya, but I have a feeling it's going to be fine after its bath.

Nellie said...

It looks sensational Madge! And Tom looks pretty pleased too. Am chuckling about the knitted man dress. I made Nic a swaeter last winter. It looked fine for five minutes and then slumped into a tunic. I'm sure your Cobblestone will keep its shapely, manly attributes!
