The arena is empty except for one (wo)man,
Still driving and striving as fast as (s)he can.
The sun has gone down and the moon has come up,
And long ago somebody left with the cup.
But (s)he's driving and striving and hugging the turns.
And thinking of a sweater for whom (s)he still burns.

Why Wild Swan?
In The Wild Swans by HC Anderson, a girl must knit sweaters for her 12 brothers-turned-swans to make them human again, in the short time before she is to be burned as a witch, and she must do it with her bare hands using stinging nettles. In addition to being a very exciting example of knitting in fairy tales, it sums up the essence of knitting; though painfully frustrating at times, it is always worthwhile.

It's going to be gargeous whenever you finish it--I'm personally shooting for the 2012 London Olympics as my personal deadline.
Molly, way back when, you said you might be interested in doing a shawl collar version of the Perfect Sweater. I FINALLY have a basic pattern that's ready to be adapted. I couldn't find your email address--if you're interested, email me at annATmasondixonknittingDOTcom for the details. Thanks!
