February Lady Sweater progress – Dateline October 2008

Slowly but surely – she’s getting there.  I still love this yarn,  although it’s got some interesting “splices” in it that spring up when you least expect them.   They aren’t “knots” per se, but hard little spliced spots that will act just like a knot, so I’ve had to snip those out and start yarn again in spots where I’d rather not, but after it’s all woven in, hopefully it’s not going to make a difference.  Heaven knows I’ve got my own additions that weren’t planned for to weave in too.

So,  I’m “down to the sleeves” and since they’re knit right on the garment, it doesn’t feel like I’m just knitting a sleeve.  I still have my lap warmer to wrestle with (boy alpaca is WARM!) and the gull-lace is down to a rhythm and is “readable” so it’s a great TV watching project too.
