NEEDLES AND A PEN

Hi! I'm Traci. I'm a Registered Nurse who loves quilting, knitting, cross stitch, and the great outdoors. In my pre-scrubs life, I owned Real Photography, and you can still see my old wedding and portrait photography site here ... One of my biggest successes in January was finishing my first adult sweater! This poor sweater had no less than four (five? seven? Seriously-it was insane) necklines before it was finally done. It sat for 6 years just needing a neckline! (Actually, I had originally intended to frog the sleeves and reknit them smaller, but I'm older and wiser and have given up on perfection... One of the worst parts about making anything is the moment you ask yourself "would I have bought this at the store?" I'm not overly in love with the fit of the sweater, so honestly, no, I would not have purchased this sweater. I do, however, love that I made it my own self and after seven years it is no longer in my WIPS pile!
