Who's keeping track?

    For those of you who like to keep track of such things, I think it's been at least 4 days since I worked on Sara's sweater. I've been too darn busy to knit.


   Today, however, I plan to not leave the house, to not even get dressed. I am going to have my coffee, and knit. Then do some laundry, and knit. Then wash some dishes, and knit some more. I might even have lunch and knit. It's going to be a veritable knitting love fest.


    Well I didn't get to stay home all day, I made myself take back two big garbage bags of water bottles. I got $5 for them. And with that, I was able to get more half and half. And I haven't knitted a single stitch yet. I just don't feel like it. Right now, I think I'll start some laundry...

my left arm

    I guess "sleeve" would be a more appropriate word, but "my left arm" sounds cooler. I've been knitting and knitting, and here's the progress on my left sleeve:

     And just for shits and giggles, here's a closer view:

    I've completed five decrease repeats, and currently working towards the sixth decease round. Woot! I am supremely excited about the fact that there will be no seams whatsoever to sew after I'm done! I've some a long way since my first cardigan; which had five separate pieces to be sewn together.


    If I had chosen the other option for the sleeves, there would be just two ten stitch long seams to sew. Either way, it's not bad!


    I sure hope you, my dear readers, aren't getting too tired of me tooting my own horn here. This is such a thrill for me, I don't think you can even imagine. The final thrill will be to get a photo of me wearing the finished sweater!!


    Right now, I'm watching vintage Doctor Who episodes on Netflix, and after the current episode, I will be taking a short break, to get some dishes washed. And perhaps to put a load of laundry in the washer. Then it will be back to Doctor Who and knitting. At least until it's time to put the laundry in the dryer. TTFN!
