The aran pullover is finally finished!!!! I am so happy about this I thought I would give the finished product its own post rather than update the older one. Not only is it finished, but it fits as well. Too bad it is 90 degrees in Chicago and it won't be worn for another three months... I made John try it on anyways for pictures and to make sure it fits. I haven't blocked it yet but will do that when the weather is less humid (October?). If you want to see the details of the sweater, check out the older post in May. I don't even want to think about the hours that it took to make this sweater--but I thought it was not too shabby for my first aran. I only used four of the five skeins of wool that I bought in Ireland. I think at the time I paid five euro a piece for the skeins, so this sweater ended up costing me less than $30 in yarn. Of course if you total up all of the hours put in, it is, as they say, priceless.
So how long do you think it will be before John spills salsa on it?

Let me know if the wearer doesn't give it it's full respect...
