The bottom half of the cardigan body, with two sleeves on holders above.
It's been a ridiculously stressful couple of weeks with a lot of things going on that aren't exactly blog-friendly. I've been happy to have this sweater to work on at night while watching The Big Bang Theory. Which, by the way, wasn't a show that I expected to enjoy. But I really do, and so does Brian. He gets more of the geeky references than I do, but it is extremely well-written and the characters are hilarious.
And with the finishing of the sleeves....I am going to put this sweater in hibernation for a short while. This is for two reasons: 1. the next step is making a yoke and attaching the sleeves somehow. I haven't quite wrapped my head around just how to do that yet....so I'm mulling it. and 2. I need to crank out some baby gifts! I have several things picked out and well, babies come on a deadline. Not a hard and fast deadline per se, but in the general vicinity of three in mid-to-late Autumn.
p.s. do you want to hear something kind of sick? I've already chosen my next sweater! It's called Radiate and it's a longer-sleeve cardigan made out of cotton instead of wool. Even sicker: I have the yarn in the house, ten skeins of Cotton Ease in charcoal. Now, I didn't buy it for this sweater in particular. I bought it last summer for a different pattern that I decided against last minute. Every knitter (and crocheter too) is always dreaming about their next project. This one however....not until after the holidays. I'm sick, but not that sick!
