Large Hadron Collider
I was wondering what LHC stood for when I charted the logo and knit this sweater. I posted previously about knitting the logo upside down, so the sweater could be photographed in progress, and it would still read as a sweater. The back and sleeves were knit on machine, and the sweater assembled before the front was completed. I used Jo Sharp Silkroad Aran for the body and blue letter, the other colors are Cascade 220 and some green that I fortunately found in my stash instead of spending funds on an entire ball to use just a few yards. I finished the sweater completely a few nights ago, and it flew off to California to meet its intended recipient. The magazine is called Symmetry, and it's published by Fermilab. If you click on the link, you can see the PDF version of the magazine with some additional shots and my photo credit. Which is a disappointment. No mention of my web site, and my name is misspelled. I mean, who cares what neighborhood I live in? I guess this is just another lesson in keeping my expectations low when it comes to knitting for business.

Cool sweater. I'd email those guys and ask em to fix the typo. While their at it, they could pop in your web address. Happy Friday!
Unfortunately for me, that is a photo of the magazine already in print. So, it appears that I am a hobby knitter in Lincoln Square.
