Forecast
October 8th, 2007
I am totally in shock over here- I finished knitting something!!!
I started this sweater last spring but then it got too hot to knit with wool. Plus, Ravelry snatched all my knitting time and wouldn’t give it back. 
Luckily, with the weather getting a bit crispier (at times) here in Boston the last couple weeks, I haven’t been able to resist any longer and Forecast finally got off the needles.
(color is wonky for some reason in the 1st image- others are more color accurate)
Pattern is, of course, Forecast by the lovely mommy-to-be Stefanie Japel.
The yarn is Plymouth Tweed in 5320, burgundy/ dark plum.
More details here on Ravelry! (Sorry for those still waiting!!)

Yay! I wish I could actually finish something. Great job!
October 8th, 2007 at 2:14 am
It’s gorgeous! I love the fit and color.
October 8th, 2007 at 5:39 am
It’s wonderful!!! I can’t believe Ravelry snatched all your time away and wouldn’t give it back!
October 8th, 2007 at 6:20 am
It looks great, Jess. I predict you’ll get lots of wear out of it now.
October 8th, 2007 at 6:39 am
I love this pattern! It’s lovely in this golor and it looks great on you good job Jess!!
October 8th, 2007 at 6:50 am
Great job! I’m on an FO high and desperate to knit more more more
October 8th, 2007 at 7:36 am
oh Jess, it looks perfect! I love it! I also love your face in the Bob picture.
October 8th, 2007 at 7:46 am
YEE HAW
SHE KNITS
and Bob is still so freakin cute. Cannot wait to see you guys!!!!
Looks like it will be after Thanksgiving this year……will you be available?
October 8th, 2007 at 7:47 am
Jess,
You look absolutely beautiful wearing your creation! Wonderful color and great pattern choice. We all love Ravelry, and thank you for all of your hard work. However, please still take time for your own knitting projects and try to remember that you need to knit too!

I love it! The fit is great, and the color suits you. Also, of course, love Bob!
October 8th, 2007 at 8:32 am
It’s fabulous and it looks great on you. Congrats!
October 8th, 2007 at 8:50 am
It’s gorgeous! I think Bob needs a matching sweater.
October 8th, 2007 at 8:51 am
Fabulous! I’m still trying to find buttons for mine. It’s hard to get an accurate read on the color of my yarn, too. It’s actually the color of your first picture. How odd!
October 8th, 2007 at 9:32 am
Congrats for getting to KNIT! WOOT! And the sweater DOES look perfect! Nice job!!!
October 8th, 2007 at 9:46 am
LOVE it. LOVEEEEE.
October 8th, 2007 at 11:49 am
You’ve got the perfect shape for that sweater. and I like the reddish hair…super cute!
October 8th, 2007 at 11:52 am
Gorgeous!!!! Perfect color and fit!
October 8th, 2007 at 11:54 am
I think one of the best compliments is this: I never wanted to make Forecast till I say yours. It is gorgeous.
October 8th, 2007 at 11:54 am
Va Va Voom. Congratulations on finishing a knit – you look fantastic in it.
October 8th, 2007 at 3:46 pm
LOVE it … and the color is great! That’s a cute pic of you & Bob too!
October 8th, 2007 at 3:50 pm
Super cute! And don’t worry, Ravelry had snatched up pretty much all our knitting time.
October 8th, 2007 at 3:51 pm
It’s beautiful! I love that color and it’s very complementary on you!
October 8th, 2007 at 5:37 pm
Great Job! I am surprised you have any time to knit!
October 8th, 2007 at 10:11 pm
looks fabulous — and a really really great color on you. reminds me of merlot. mmmmerlot.
October 8th, 2007 at 10:48 pm
Oh, it’s so beautiful! I always admire the architechtural quality of that sweater on other people. Maybe it’s time to make one of my own. I love that you used a tweedy purple for it, yum. Congrats on finding some knitting time!
October 9th, 2007 at 12:27 am
Your sweater is lovely! I feel like Ravelry is getting a fair amount of my knitting time, so I can’t even imagine how you finished a sweater! Extra props to you!
October 9th, 2007 at 12:35 am
Wowza!!! That looks totally amazing on you!
October 9th, 2007 at 9:42 am
Awesome knit! It looks wonderful on you! It’s great to see you sneak in a post AND an FO too!
October 9th, 2007 at 10:17 am
So cute! I was just thinking about combining cable with garter the other day…I completely forgot about Forecast.
October 9th, 2007 at 1:14 pm
Your forecast looks beautiful, I love that color.
October 9th, 2007 at 2:49 pm
Jess, your Forecast is gorgeous! It totally compliments Bob’s eyes in that last picture
So glad that you have had at least a teensy bit of time to finish some knitting, I know you must be so busy with Ravelry.
October 10th, 2007 at 9:19 am
This is beautiful! Love the picture with Bob
October 10th, 2007 at 2:10 pm

October 21st, 2007 at 10:23 am
Oh it’s just gorgeous! That color looks so good on both of you. Don’t suppose you’d have any left for a second, smaller version? Boston’s need sweaters you know…
October 22nd, 2007 at 10:13 pm
Pictures of the fabulous Ravelry party are beginning to appear everywhere! Glad it was such a success. Maybe someday I’ll get to be there too.

You know, that is so obviously a Stephanie design but you’ve so made it yours! As has been said already, I didn’t need it until I saw it on you – great job
December 13th, 2007 at 11:54 pm

December 20th, 2007 at 10:49 am
Congrats on the FO!! I’ve been working on a sweater that I dearly wanted to have finished for Thanksgiving. I’m only starting the sleeve cap on the first sleeve and it’s almost Christmas.

Hi! My friend, Nancy Iyer said she met you at a Barnes and Noble at the end of the summer, I think somewhere in Mass., but not sure. She knew I had signed up for Ravelry, so she’s been after me to drop you a line. You guys are doing a great job on this site!
Happy knitting!

Yarn In Your Medicine Cabinet?…
“Knit two rows and call me in the morning” is not medical advice you will see written on your doctor’s prescription pad, but if we take a closer look, knitting has some great benefits to your health and well-being….
February 12th, 2008 at 2:57 pm
Hi! I’ve been looking at your book list and, by your recommendation, read the Thirteenth Tale and LOVED it. Now I’m reading The History of Love and it’s so good too. Thanks for the list of books!
February 18th, 2008 at 5:58 pm
That’s it! I’ve waited patiently long enough. It’s time for capital letters. WHERE HAVE YOU GONNNNEEEE???
February 20th, 2008 at 6:03 pm
It so rocks!
April 2nd, 2008 at 2:18 pm
Hi
Iam Ghislaine the french woman

Wish I could be that good.
May 5th, 2008 at 12:13 am
Post something, will ya?
May 12th, 2008 at 9:13 am
It looks perfect. Good job!
July 16th, 2008 at 2:25 pm
Hi there. I just wanted to say that your projects are all so pretty. I wish I could be as good a you one day.
I’m in Ravelry (Jhocy I think) but have not been able to get on there since my ISP is blocking the site. I contacted them to complain about it and explain what Ravelry is all about and they came back to me saying they blocked it because it is a dating site. I mean WTF? I went on to send them links of Ravelry found all over the net and so far they have not unblocked it nor replied to me.
I live in Dubai where Islamic law and tradition is upheld. But hey, Facebook where people post almost naked photos and blatantly flirt and pick up girls is wide open to everyone.
I miss Ravelry.
August 17th, 2008 at 2:10 am
Great look on you.
September 18th, 2008 at 5:40 pm
Hi,
I’ve read your blog and really liked it. I’m a Brazilian college student who will be going to Boston in December for 3 months to improve my English. I’d like to get in touch with people who live in Boston so that I could meet them after I arrive. In case you’d like to talk to me, please send a message to my e-mail: gimanske@gmail.com
October 5th, 2008 at 8:07 am
Love your Forecast. I keep looking at this project and may have to knit it up before Winter End. Also, how did I ever live without Ravelry? Thank you. Thank you!
November 20th, 2008 at 7:20 pm
It fits you beautifully and the color is great. It just looks wonderful on you. Glad you got it done in time for lots of winter wear.
