That title's a little shout-out to the mim.

But it IS a sweater.




See?

So the blocking worked OK. And by blocking I mean various times in the washer and dryer and driving Phil (and probably Cristina who I was out with at the time) crazy by calling to check up on it. Phil tried so hard to be diplomatic ("well it's not huge exactly...).

Anyway. Now it is the right length and a little loose (especially around the neck), but it will do with a pair of jeans.

I ended up modifying the back and k2togging a few times which worked well enough.



Enjoy the view of the butt on me.

Now it looks just like the one on the model....




right? (I probably shouldn't put those together)
