i am so close!
to being done with this godsdamn stupid, frakking sweater, i can almost taste it. i think i only have 5 repeats of the pattern left to go (ok, maybe 7). but i've been knitting this same pattern for weeks (2x2 knit, with a baby cable every 4th row) and it is killing me.
almost literally. my hands are cramping from all of this. it doesn't help that the sleeve was knitted directly into the body of the sweater, so now i have a really heavy garment on 4 DPNs. so my wrists and fingers are supporting everything and THEY DO NOT LIKE THE WEIGHT.
but once i'm done with this, i am done with all 3 current WIPs. which means i can start my BSG socks and one other project.
carmen_sandiego i may have to hold off on the Malabrigo sweater. I forgot about the fingering weight silk that needs to be made into a cute summer tank top (don't worry, the yarn is held double, so it shouldn't take too long).
oh, and i may need to treat myself to this knitting purse. i really like the namaste bags i've seen, but no one in NYC seems to sell them, so if i do decide to indulge, i need to make sure that their return policy is a good one.
ok, its hot, i'm tired, and my hands, wrists and shoulders are killing me. stupid sweater.
