I finished the second sleeve and the neckband of the purple and green sweater tonight. I even hemmed it. Now all that is required for the photos are a bit of blocking and weaving in the stray ends. Blocking is more important, stray ends can be tucked away for the photo shoot, right?
I've got to make some modifications to it so that it will fit me better, but it's enough for the photos.
Then I've got to get the pattern written up. I did almost all of the math for the 7 (SEVEN! Shit) sizes needed. The sleeves are bothering me a bit, though, especially since there's going to have to be a bit of fudging and guess work going on. But I think it will work out, and I've got my handy calculator (not to mention Ann Budd's amazing book) to help me through some of the guess work.
Now it's really time to go to sleep and to dream of what the next project on my needles will be. Or should I finish some of those other projects that I've already started? Maybe I can work my way through another round of the chart for the blue cardigan and after that treat myself to working up a swatch for the pink/brown/green sweater?
