Progress, Again
It's growing. The increases don't look as lovely as I wish they would, but the center front decreases look great.
The pattern itself is developing a funky texture, almost like the purl stitches are pulling in a rib-like fashion. Click here for a close-up shot. I guess will see what happens...
I still have about 4" til I separate for fronts and back, but even so, the rows are getting shorter, and I have memorized the pattern which definitely speeds things along. I feel like I got a decent amount accomplished today so far.
Now I'm off to get some food before seeing "Sweeney Todd" at New York City Opera, but maybe I'll get another couple rows in when I come home tonight.

(sweater's looking great!)

Posted by: Antonio at March 25, 2004 11:16 AMDon't worry about the funky texture.
It will even itself out and be perfectly beautiful when you block it...
you will block it, nyet?
Contrary to unpopular belief, this is not a big deal. In fact, it is a rather soothing process.
Ask if you want details.
