    ooh, that is going to be gorgeous, and as if sleeves weren't big enough to knit at the best of times! My youngest son is the same, arms and legs that go on forever

    haha! Yeah, good luck, woman. He's a lucky husband. I've seen those condors, and I wouldn't have the courage to take on that wingspan. :)

    I know that wingspan feeling. But you have to spin it too! You're brave!

    I am chuckling out loud as I type. Perfectly captured the scale of the project - and the joy with which it will be executed!

    Ooh, ooh! Love the colors, and can't wait to see what you do with the design. I've just spun Branden a sweater; I promise it does end, and it helps if you spin a little on the chunky side. Really, it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought. =)

    A CONDOR!? You got to see a CONDOR!!!

    And yeah, I made my husband an Aran once with an 86" wingspan. He'd always wanted to own a sweater he could fold the cuffs up on, it seemed the most unattainable luxury to him, and now he's got one. Fits perfectly. (Haven't asked our older son, at 6'9+" an inch taller than his daddy, if he wants one too. Yet.)
