My goal for August was to finish my Fireworks sweater, the subject of this year's four day knit-along at Olive Knits. Four days was way too optimistic for me, and I knew that at the beginning, but that's never a reason not to start. Having started on 1 July, and finished on 30 August, this sweater has taken two months, minus one day. That's probably the shortest time I've spent on a sweater ever, and the fireworks stitch isn't the easiest (that's it on the yoke and also on the sleeves and on each side). I made it with 100% merino double knitting wool.

Just beautiful! (Someday I'll be brave enough to try knitting a sweater!)
Such a lovely sweater. I don't know how you knitters do it.
Beautiful sweater, Marly! I so admire those of you who can knit and create such lovely garments!
