I'm not a quitter. I have fond memories of tackling Algebra II problems in high school until 3am because I didn't want to turn in an incomplete homework assignment. But I must admit that there are a few things that didn't see the finish line: 1) Moby Dick (I won't attempt to pick this one up again) 2) Homer's Iliad & the Odyssey (which I may try to finish someday) and 3) a cross-stitch of a koala bear wearing a sailor outfit (alas, I threw that in the trash can...since fifth grade, I thought I would move to Australia, thus accounting for my fascination with anything from down-under.)
I decided not to add onto my list and finally (over a year later) completed my Tuscan Sunset Kyoto! (as of midnight last night.) The seaming looks like the job of a first grader - despite my blocking, parts didn't seem to fit together. Why? Because my gauge significantly changed over the past year, depending on whether I was on vacation or deliriously studying for my finals.
Now onto my next year-long project...
(Also please take notice of the plant in the background...currently growing two Japanese eggplants, hopefully ready for harvest in a week or so!)

I'm glad that you didn't give up on your sweater! It looks great : )
aww.. it looks great! I still haven't finished my Kyoto yet.. Its still stuffed in the closet and in need of a collar,seaming, and blocking.
That is really cute! Worth the finish!
Great job! I love it!
Noooooooooo-it looks great! That is throwing me into more of a quandry - weirdly I posted about this knit today before I read your blog.
Congrats!! I know I'm going to sound mom-ish, but "I am so proud of you!"
