It's Beginning to Look A Lot Norwegian

So I spent a good chunk of the day at Knit NY because, even though I don't think I was mended enough to go stand up all day at work, I just couldn't face another day solo in the apartment. So Kersti went with me, and the knitting of the baby sweater is now done, and I started some of the seaming. There was too much "hunching over" to be able to finish it, though.

I left Knit NY (with 3.5 skeins of K107 left for another project, counting the skein I bought today), and came home to pick up the Norge 2000 sleeve, because, even though the pattern is complicated and crazy, it's rather enjoyable to knit, and I even got to a point where the pattern's starting to make sense. I don't think I could say that I memorized it because it's not that kind of a pattern, but, well, take a look and I think you'll see what I mean:

I like it a lot! It's getting heavy, though, at least, for a sleeve...

Tomorrow I am going back to work regardless of how "ready" my back is. I just can't take another sick day. I'm going to try and sit in the back and just deal with phones as much as I can. Then hopefully I'll come home and still be able to knit a few more rows...

This is my first time here and was wondering how often posts are made?
