Happy Birthday to Me!
I am thrilled to announce the appearance of my completed Audrey, just in time for my 31st birthday! After many, many months of being "shelved" and after a big move from Wisconsin to Nelson, New Zealand in November, my Audrey was completed last night. I haven't had time to wash and block her yet, as I so wanted to wear her for my birthday today (the 27th of December). We are having a cooler summer here in New Zealand so far, so I will be taking great advantage of this extremely comfortable sweater in the next few months. I love her already and know she will look even better after being washed and blocked... I am all smiles!
I made the Medium size in Pool with no alterations to the written instructions for lengths or increases/decreases, and it worked out wonderfully. I did 20 repeats for the neckline and really like how it lays on my shoulders. I have no complaints at all with how it fits, which certainly makes me happy! I have already been proudly walking around town today, and it feels good...
Now I can relax, knowing that the "Audrey 2004" label will be appropriate since I completed it before the end of the year.
Happy Birthday to Me!

It's great to see that there are knitters who are still working on Audrey to complete it.
Sounds like the weather is perfect for her too!
Looks gorgeous -- as does New Zealand in the background. Happy Birthday and Happy Audrey to you!
