On the right day for once! I’m mostly just working on the same two projects as last week. I have finished a few more knitted jewelry pieces and national park blocks, but will talk about those another day.
I feel a little bit like Sam and Frodo climbing Mt. Doom with this initial part of my Melville sweater. It’s taking for so long. So very, very long. I think at this point I should have around 8 more rows to do, but the rows are so long it might as well be 80. I’m being a little dramatic right now, as you can see. But progress is being made.
On the other hand, my Astronomy KAL socks are just flying along! I’m on stripe 19 of 28, and they continue to go really quickly. These may well be done in another week! And then it will be back to finish DH’s black socks.
What are you working on, and how is it going?
Quite A Yarn 
Well, I got 8 inches into the front of the sweater, and realized that the cables on the left side were backwards. They were supposed to be twisting away from the center. So I took out 2 days’ worth of work and it looked like some weird critter. My husband was looking for googly eyes to put on it. I am caught up now, but I’m nervous about making another mistake. The yarn is so slick that the cable needle slides out and then I have to look under the couch and in the seat cushions for it. I am not as agile as I used to be.

Oh no! It’s heartbreaking to have to rip that much out. Slick yarn and cable needles are a difficult combination for sure. Hang in there! It will be worth it!

Working mostly on my quilt. I did finish the first sleeve of Autumn Bloom sweater.

Oh, thanks for the reminder. I guess the sleeve could be my Friday Finish this week.

I think feeling dramatic at that point in a sweater is normal. I know I felt like it WOULD NEVER END when I was at that point in my current sweater.
I love the self striping sock yarn! Also, it’s very nice of them to (I’m assuming) separate the yarn out so that you can make two socks at a time with perfectly matched stripes.

Thank you – glad it’s not just me 🙂
It is beautiful yarn, and I love the KAL that goes along with it! The yarn came all together in one skein, but there’s a big stretch of gray in the middle to be used for toes and heels that is the divider. It was pretty easy to separate into two balls 🙂

Oh, that’s very convenient! I love it when yarn dyers make it easy to separate like that.
