Aran Progress
Here’s the progress on my sweater. I’ve got the back done down to the armholes (8.5″), and just started the two fronts. And, yes, I know. It looks like it’s one, big piece, but in fact, those are two, separate fronts. They just meet in the middle on the needle. The fronts look like they’re a lot wider than the back, too, which I’m a little concerned with. I mean, there are a couple more stitches solely because of the selvedge for the button bands … but of course, once the button bands are added, the fronts will be wider still …
So, anyway. I’ll give this some thought before I knit any further, in case I want to do something different for the two, center-most cables for the front.
I’ve been unusually quiet this week, which I blame on the Olympics. I’ve spent way too much time tweeting about them while watching instead of, well, doing anything else. It’s remarkably fun, tweeting live while watching something that millions of other people are watching at the exact same time.
Chappy doesn’t mind–just as long as I’m where he can keep his eye on me.

The Aran is coming along beautifully! I love the color, and the center cable on the back is exceptionally elegant. It does look as though it might be very dense, causing you to need fewer stitches in front. Good luck!

Yikes about the front being wider… let us know when you figure it out, eh?
I have a question for you! Remember the maplewing shawl? I’m nearly done w/ section B and I’m having trouble thinking about C… is it that for each row you do the right edging, the center as established, and the left (backwards for the other side)? That’s where I think I’m going anyhow… let me know if that’s not right? Thanks!
