celticdragonflyAnother knitting compliment I got today - the baby sweater whose sleeves I was seaming up was praised, and they were astonished to find out that ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bkseiver had started it and I'd taken over and finished it. They couldn't see where the changeover had been.
(My initial mental reaction to this was "well of COURSE not!", but I guess I need to remember that the whole "difference between theory and practice" thing applies most of the time.)
When they were told that she and I knit a couple needles sizes different (she usually goes down a size from the recommended, I typically go up a size), and that she'd pulled the needles out before sending it home with me, they got more astounded, I think.
I'm feeling rather proud of myself and my work today.
