OK, so I might have been a bit optimistic about the progress I'd make on my sweater this week. When last we met, I was looking forward to casting on for the front neck. That came together pretty quickly, but boy, those raglan increases sure start to add up! The 260-odd-stitch rounds were a bit of a slog toward the end. Trivia: I can knit 1.75 rounds on the subway ride to work. So far this week, in addition to knitting at home, I've worked on my sweater on the subway, at a mall, at a coffee shop, in a movie theatre and in a restaurant ( before the food came, of course). And I'm happy to report that I did get as far as separating the sleeves. I've got another couple inches before I hit the waist shaping...maybe by the end of the weekend? I should settle in for a good old-fashioned movie marathon and get down to business. I really am looking forward to being able to wear this sweater. A few notes:
