And have you ever knitted something that you just LOVE to pieces?
That would be this Pinwheel Sweater for me. I love this silly thing. It is just over sized and "flappy" enough to wrap me up like in a cocoon---and it's comfortable as anything--- and I just love it!
Of course, I took many "liberties" with the pattern, and I know my haphazard, psychedelic methods of interpreting other people's patterns is not everybody's cup of tea--- but for me it "fits". And yes, just like my socks, the sleeves don't match--- and I just threw in the colors willy-nilly according to my "mood" --- but dadgum it, I LOVE IT!
I put random cables, bobbles, seed stitch, and fair-isle "dots" hither and yon, every which way but loose. And I finished off the edging with a crocheted pattern ("mock ribbing" via front post stitches), and I didn't put any buttons on it because I prefer wearing it manually "wrapped" around me.
I love this silly thing so much that I've begun another one, this time using the color black as the main color instead of the aran color.

I LOVE IT!

Attached is a photo of me in college, and also the front and back of the Pinwheel Sweater.  As for my bio, I was born in California but was raised in foreign countries overseas, since my parents both worked for the U.S. government as diplomats.  I returned to America to attend California Polytechnic State University, and I graduated with a B.S. Degree in Chemistry.  After working for a few years as a paralegal, I attended a Catholic convent nursing school in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and then became an RN.  I began my blog as a way to talk about my daily life during the years I was a road nurse in Texas.  Now, I'm living in Kansas, and I'm continuing to write my blog even though I am not currently working.  My hobby is knitting and crocheting, and I express my creativity by knitting things which are extremely brightly colored.  :)
