Finally!

Img_4941Finally! The sleeves are DONE.

Phew. I thought that really was going to take forever.

Now, what’s left is basically repeating that "doesn’t - it - look - so - narrow - in - comparison" back for the front sections.

I mean, really, look at the difference in proportion between the length of the rows for the back section and the length for the sleeves. I’m down to fewer than 80 stitches per row and, wow, what a difference. The few rows I did feel like they’re just flying!

So, let’s see . . . if it took me from February to June to get the sleeves done . . . and it looks like the rectangle making up the back is about half of the area of the sleeves . . . in theory, I should get this sweater done, let’s see . . . two more months?

Well, no, not really–this time, this is the primary sweater project. She’s not hiding in Celtic Icon’s shadow any more . . . and I’m not making a secret graduation-present sweater . . . so really, it shouldn’t take THAT long (grin). At least, it’d better not.

Do you know, though? I haven’t touched my lace in days, I’ve been so focused on getting these endless sleeves finished.

For today’s interesting link? This "Sorted Books" project . . . makes me want to go and play with my books….
