tilt

day of satisfaction: i finally finished the tilt sweater (knitty fall 2003) this morning. it's been months of knitting and what seems like months of blocking and piecing to get this project done. i'm pretty pleased with the results EXCEPT THAT IT'S ITCHY!!! this sweater is made from noro silk garden (45% silk, 45% kid mohair, 10% lambswool). how can it be itchy?!?!?
