In all of the excitement of a new lace project, I keep forgetting to post about the sweater progress. I discovered with Irtfa’a that I like to have one complicated pattern that requires thought and one mindless pattern for in-between knitting on the needles. My aunt’s stole (which really needs a name…I’ll have to get on that) is the current challenge project, and the hybrid sweater is the soothing project. Despite lack of blog appearances, it is making quite good progress:
I have about 14 inches of 25 done on the body, so it’s coming along nicely. I’m liking the front cable section a lot, and stockinette in the round is great for blog reading.
There has been lace progress also, but I haven’t pinned it out for photos yet. Hopefully I’ll find time and light to get that done in the next few days. Hope you all had a good weekend!
Thanks for the tip! I got the second sock knit to the same length as the first and put them both on the needles, it has been working out so far but I've had to move the yarn around a few times, so I'm going to try putting the yarn in the toe now.
Whoa – That's looking good!!!
Looking good! And I can't wait to see the progress on the lace 🙂 Thanks also for the comment on shopping — it seems that more and more people are avoiding those florescents when they can 🙂
Love the sweater! That is one of my favorite ways to make a sweater: pattern in the middle and mindless elsewhere.
