It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like a Sweater
So here's something exciting:
Of course, it's Zauberflote. I like the way that photo shows the texture. It actually gives you a sense of what's actually going on with the yarn.
But I got to have another wonderfully productive night. And to tell you the honest truth, I probably knit a tad faster than I should have - which I can tell because the tension on the backside looks a little bit loose. I'll deal, though. Because guess what happened:
Yes, ladies and gentlemen: that's an armhole steek! And there's another armhole steek on the other side. And 54 rows to go until I get to the front neck steek.
I do believe that means that we're potentially past the 50% point on this sweater. Yay!
Jon, the sweater is going to look great. I love the colors. I've never done a sweater that requires steeks. The idea of cutting the fabric is scary because I would be afraid of watching the stitches slowly unravel.

To knit for an hour and then rip it all out and measure how much we did. I wanna know what my YPH speed is! I can promise it wouldn't be as fast as yours if I was making Z. :)
