I got a picture in email today of my nieces in their "Olympic Sweaters"...

TOO ADORABLE!

I have *just about* finished the back of my olympic sweater. Then the fronts from the armpits up, then the sleeves... *sigh*

Thanks Emma! Why so long on your sweater?

1. it's 52" around and 26" long, and was knit in one piece to the underarms
2. my hands started being vaguely unhappy with knitting, due to a combination of pregnancy and medications, and so there were many days when I did not knit at all, and other days where I knit 2-3 rows and had to stop. :-(

The back is now done and I only have a few more pattern repeats on one of the front portions, so I hope to be hitting the sleeves within a week or two. My new goal for completion is mid-April, when we will attend the sheep festival where I bought the wool I used to spin the yarn last year. If I can get from two pounds of carded wool to a sweater within the year, I'll be pretty happy.

Heh. Ooops, yeah. 21 weeks now. Plus a 5 year old. Sometimes it's a wonder I do any knitting at all! :-)
