after eight at 60% monday 05.09.2005

progress report on the striped sweater:




i decided to stay with the saddle shoulder decrease after all. i actually knitted it half way back up using raglans only to realize that i gave up too easily. so i ripped it back again and learned to deal with the saddle shoulder.

the rolled part of the neck is actually the hem waiting to be sewn down. i am not happy with the collar yet so i should say that it is waiting to be reknit. i'll be done with the bottom ribbing in another inch. you can see i've started to knit down the left sleeve. i would like to make long sleeves but i only have one ball of mint yarn left. if it isn't enough, i will end up with one striped sleeve and one solid brown. or, may be two short sleeves?

enough knitting quandary for today. happy monday, everyone!

I love the stripes! Nice colors. Funny how they kind of match your blog color scheme. Rabbit, rabbit.

how about 3/4 sleeves? if not, i vote for one long, one short. you are kooky that way.

Short sleeves! You'll finish faster and Summer's almost here anyway.

Very nice sweater. Is the color in the picture a pretty true depiction of the brown?

If you've got nice arms, show 'em!

Beautiful! Why not short sleeves? It looks like a great springtime sweater anyway with the colors.....
