Good progress

I am making good progress on the Elaine Striped Cardigan.

I ripped it all back to about 4 rows below the armhole shaping, then knit the body in one piece, adding another 4 inches in length before the armhole openings. Last night I finished the back, and I now have one front section to finish.

 

I should be able to get this piece done pretty quickly, perhaps tonight, perhaps not because I am fading fast even though it is not that late.  I may get a second wind.  

G is having a minor procedure at the hospital tomorrow, but this is too bulky to take with me.  I might take the one sleeve,which I also ripped back to below the sleeve cap shaping, and start reknitting it now that I know what the actual space requirements will be.  I might just read.  We are supposed to go out to see Avatar tomorrow night, assuming G is up for it, so it does not look like a promising knitting day. Even so, I hope to have the body and the one sleeve finished by the weekend.   Perhaps even a sweater next week.

I wonder if I have buttons?

Big difference, it looks like a better fit for sure. It will be a lovely, warm sweater.

I just love it. Can't tell how it's knit? Looks like small needles and thin yarn but dense knit, or am I just blind at this hour? Anyway, just gorgeous. K
