So my mother phones me and leaves me a message saying something like "I am curious about the intestine sweater...when are you going to post something...when will I see it?" So, the thing is, I finished the intestine sweater, I honestly can say it no longer looks like intestines, but it is a little big around the chest (wishful thinking on my part when I was knitting it, obviously). So like a madwoman I am rushing around downtown Calgary looking for a pin so I can put the sweater on and have the Babe take a photo so I can put it on my blog so my mother is happy. I don't know what the world is coming to but obviously pins or broches as they are called, are not in style because I could not find anything - actually one woman looked at me like I was some relic from a past life. Finally I went into one of those hippie, pot-pipe and rolling paper stores and found a hideous pin that was, thank God, on for half price. The girl in the store who obviously uses too much of the product they don't actually have out on the counter said "wow, and it's such a cool pin, and lucky for you no one has bought it - it's meant to be yours!" IT IS SO UGLY, however, it did the job in providing closure to the sweater. So here it is, my first sweater ever for an adult.

Your sweater is great, ugly pin or not! The yarn is pretty and I like the shape of the neck line. I have never seen a pin I like, except when they are reeeeaaally expensive!
Holy crap, your a knitting machine! Its cool that your taking to this so greatly!
Beautiful sweater! Thank you for your comments in my blog...I'm glad someone got a chuckle out of it. Whoever told you that spring comes in March in Vermont was smoking something fragrant...*LOL* It's more like what you said, it's winter and winter and winter and then sometime in June or July, it's summer. Stay warm!
It's a great sweater! I see what you mean! :)
Having seen this sweater in person, can I just say the colourway is fantabulous? Love it - great job!
P.S. So nice to meet you too!
Ooh, I love this sweater! What's the pattern? It would be a perfect match for a dress I have for a wedding later in the year.
