How much of a bummer is this?!?
I got DH's Homme #77 sweater all seamed up, weaved in 99% of the ends, did a crochet edge around one of the areas where a zipper is installed, started pinning the zipper in, and discovered it was too short!!
Gulp!
Two and a half inches too short! Not even fudge-able!
I reallyreally wanted this one done for him before Thanksgiving... And so did he.
Oh well. He totally understands, of course. I think I'm more heartbroken over it than he is.
So, I've ordered two more zippers. They will probably be here next week. I'm thinking that I'm going to do what Knitzalot is going to do, and take it somewhere and have someone else sew in the zipper. I'm so over this project, ready for it to be done :)
So, to not be entirely picture-less, here it is all seamed up and very sweater-looking... I still have the other opening to crochet while we wait for those zippers:
A black...ribbed...mens's sweater? You're a saint! Does your DH know how lucky he is?

I'm getting ready to tackle some zippers myself. Ugh! Maybe I should just take them somewhere . . .
