I'm so pleased with how it came out! And yes, I even enjoyed knitting all 422 stitches of 8 inches of ribbing around the collar and front!
Week before last, the father type and I had a Google Christmas party to go to! It was a party for all the tech people working at Google NYC, so it was big. Before meeting up with the father type, I headed over to Bryant Park, just to get into the holiday spirit.
Then it was time to meet the father type and head to the party! It was at the Waldorf Astoria. Very nice!
We left the party when it started getting too crowded for us old fogies. Such party poopers! When we picked up our coats from the coat check to leave, there was a long line to check coats in. The party was just getting started.... but not for us! :D
Last night we picked up our boy child for Christmas vacation. Yay! We have him home for a whole month!!
Maybe Mia will have time to forgive the boy child for leaving her all the time....
(Did you notice that father type got a haircut? Look closely at those pics above...)
Thanks as always for stopping by and saying hi. I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season. It's almost winter! Enjoy!

Great job on the cardi it looks amazing and having just struggled to finish a baby hat in cables I am in awe of all you have knitted sooo many cables wow! Wishing you and your family a wonderful Christmas together.
Margaret. Margaret Margaret Margaret. Is there anything related to handwork that you can't create with perfection? Your sweater is just fabulous. Looks like that shindig was fabulous too. I like your guy's new haircut and am glad you have an entire month with your son. New York looks amazing. Merry Christmas to you all.
That sweater is amazing and marvelous! You are going to be warm and well-dressed this winter!
How lucky you are to go to such a lavish holiday party. You get great side benefits from your husband's job. Was IBM that generous with parties?
Have a wonderful holiday and enjoy that time with your baby boy.
Wow, I love your gorgeous sweater!!!! I am still stuck on knitting scarfs but wish I was as skilled as you are so that I could tackle more advanced projects.
I love Bryant park…in the summer. :-) Thanks for sharing NCY pics. With a son and DIL living in the upper west side you would think I would visit the city more. I wanted to make it in to see the Christmas tree and lights but I'm leaving for CA on Monday so I don't think I will make it in.
Lucky you to have your son for a MONTH. I remember those college winter breaks! Enjoy your time together.
Looks like a fun party!
Margaret ~
Your sweater is GORGEOUS!!! You are so talented in so many things.
I love seeing the pics of NYC. I live in Podunk, USA, so it's nice to see the big city sights. I'd be right there partying with you...lol.
Merry, merry Christmas to you and your family.
Christmas hugs :)

Congratulations on finishing Rowe. What a gorgeous sweater! Such perfect knitting... I wish I could knit.
New York looks fabulous with all the Christmas decorations. Thanks for showing us. Love the Sherlock Holmes Android. So cute!
Enjoy the holidays. Merry Christmas!
Hugs,
Veronica.
It's so nice to see all of the pieces come together to make this gorgeous sweater, Margaret! And just in time for winter. Google sure knows how to throw a fabulous party - wow! Bryant Park looks like a great place to visit to get in the holiday spirit...beautiful pictures! I know you must be thrilled to have your son home for a whole month. Enjoy the holidays with your family! Merry Christmas!
Your sweater is gorgeous!!! It look so net!
The father type look great with his new haircut.
New York looks amazing.
Merry Christmas to you all.

That sweater is so awesome! You did a wonderful job. I am a knitter, too, (although not nearly as talented as you) so I can truly appreciate all those cables and that amazing ribbing!! Wear it proudly!
The Google party looks like it was just wonderful, too. Thanks foepr sharing the pix.
Happy holidays to you and your family!!
Beautiful finish on your sweater! Will you be keeping it for yourself? Looks like a really fun party in N.Y.C.. I bet the city is unbelievable at Christmastime! Enjoy the time with your young fellow home. DH is rocking those shorn locks! Very nice!
Robyn

Congratulations on the finish! That is one beautiful sweater!
Looks like the holiday party was fun.
I hope that you have a wonderful holiday!!

Wow Margaret, what a beautiful job on Rowe!!! The fit is perfect.
Loved seeing all the festive pictures of your night out on the town. Glad the two fo you had the chance for some fun. Wishing you and your family a bright and happy holiday this week!
Congrats on the beautiful finish! What adventures you have! A google party at the Waldorf Astoria.. wow. How lucky also to see NYC decorated for Christmas. I'm happy your son is home for a good visit. Mia will like that. Merry Christmas.
I could only dream of knitting something that beautiful! I adore it!!
Mia almost appears like she is looking out the window for "her boy"... I always wonder what goes through her mind - when he leaves again....
Linda in VA
Wow, already finished, and you can be very satisfied with how it came out. You will never have cold again this winter, lol.
A Christmas party at the Waldorf Astoria, well, that is something. And although you left after a while you were there ;)
Great for you to have your son at home for such a long time.
Merry Christmas!
Another work of art! I love the sweater. It looks so complicated! Beautiful color, too!
oh Margaret - I am just so thrilled to see you wearing that wonderful super gorgeous Rowe - WOW - it is simply smashing ! fun to see scenes of NYC - you are so lucky you can go there on occasion. Nice to have your DS home for a whole month.
So ..... what's next my friend - more knitting or stitching? Hope you are having a great week of Christmas joy - Hugs and congratulations Mel
Bryant Park at Christmas!! <3 I am hoping I can be thee next year. I love all the little shops. Congrats on finishing Rowe. It looks great...all warm and cozy! Glad you had fun at the Google party. I hope that you, Father Type, Boy Child and Girl Child have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year!
The sweater is beautiful!! A whole month with the BoyChild--Mia will be beside herself. My Dad would say can't soar with the Eagles when you hoot with the owls--I'm not a party animal either
Glad to see an update from you Margaret - that sweater is awesome and looks like it was a lot of work! Lucky you and your DH getting to go to a holiday party at the Waldorf-Astoria - I've never even been to NYC at all but hope to someday. It's another experience for you to put on your list that's for sure. Have a great holiday Margaret with your family!
Margaret, I love your Rowe! I have to say I like the thick ribbing too. I know it was a bear to get through but to my eyes it looks very worth it.
I always love to see the glimpses of your visits to the city! I haven't been to the city since I was a kid but I'd love to go back when everything is decorated for Christmas and see all the window displays and other decorations.
I'm not much for parties these days either. Totally get why you left "early". Glad you're getting a nice long visit with your son!
Beautiful job on that sweater, Margaret! Hope you and yours have a very Merry Christmas!
Wow, I can't believe you have finished the sweater already! It looks wonderful - you did a great job!
Oh, when I see beauties like your finished sweater, it makes me all the more determined to learn how to knit, Margaret!! It is just fabulous!! And what a party--wow! I can't imagine...
Your DH looks great with his new haircut and I know how much you'll enjoy having your son home for his break--hard to believe he will soon be graduating.
Wishing you every happiness on Christmas Day and on into the new year...
Just catching up on blog reading. I love the sweater! You are an amazing knitter. That is so incredibly cool. Hope your 2016 is a good one. Happy New Year!
What an amazing sweater - the overlapping chains are mesmerizing!
Gorgeous, gorgeous jumper, Margaret, you are so right to be pleased with it. The Google party looks like so much fun and how lovely to have the boy-child home for a month! The father-type looks very handsome with his new haircut.
