Oh, Lelah My Lelah

I have been looking forward to knitting Lelah  for awhile. I didn't pick it up as soon as I wanted because I had other projects for other people to make. When I DID have time, I didn't have the funds, as good yarn can get a little pricey. So, for our anniversary, my husband took me yarn shopping so I could finally start. I was so excited. I cast on Friday night. My anxiety to get it done increased by the day, so I spent longer and longer amounts of time each day knitting it. I finished late last night, making this complete in FOUR days (I originally calculated to be done within two weeks).Wow do my hands hurt. but it was worth it. I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out. It's a little long and loose, but I can deal with it, hopefully some blocking will help. It's great to be able to actually keep something I've worked so hard on! Of course I want you to see how it looks!

Now on to my next project... baby blanket for my friends soon to be nephew
