Now it looks more like a sleeve!


The last increase was in the last row of green, the checkerboard is the last of the Fair Isle--a few rows of solid green and I can call this one done. The second one should go faster because I can tell where to start each row of color work. Right now I'm tired of looking at it, but in the photo it's quite nice. This is one of the few times that I actually liked the original colors. It looks as though I will have just enough yarn to finish, too. (Broody herr, I HOPE so!)

Let's take a SIP (sleeve in progress)

I think I finally have the sleeve going well...I took a few dips in the frog pond over the past couple of days. Transitioning the Fair Isle motif into the sleeve increases is challenging for my picky knitting nature. Anyway, I think it's going well.
We had a full house last night. It was the Sections Spaghetti Dinner for the varsity swimmers. It was fun and they surely ate a lot! We had lots of parent help, too.
Also, a disaster was averted last night--Jim leaned against the hutch and we heard a crash, but I heard that Mr. Morris caught the large platter and only one small plate had a little chip. Whew! That was close. I'm just thankful that it did
n't come down on anyone's head!!

A sleeve

Finally, I'm knitting one of the sleeves for the Lopi cardigan!
I had so much fun on the retreat over the weekend. I spun most of the Crayola roving Joanne gave to me last year. Everyone LOVED it. We ate and ate and laughed and laughed some more. It was great to get away.
I love my circles and bobbles sweater! It's comfy, colorful (for my version of a black sweater), and I'm actually happy with the finished project.
