I'm about five inches past the sleeve separation.
How is that even possible? I'm amazed at how fast I'm knitting this baby up. I don't want to jinx myself, but I guess I've just been really motivated by the deadline. Sometimes, deadlines are a good thing. 
Of course, it doesn't hurt that I'm using Malabrigo. I love the slight variation in color. The Marine ranges from dark purple to a slightly lighter blue. I'm a little less than halfway done with the second skein.
I'm still contemplating sleeve length. I think I'll have plenty of yarn to do full sleeves, but it may get more wear if I do 3/4 sleeves. I'm pretty sure I'll do the button band before the sleeves for two reasons: 1) the button band is always the biggest pain in the ass, so I'll get it out of the way and 2) I can then use as much as I have left for the sleeves.
Omigosh, your sweater looks so snuggly and pretty that now I'm jonesing for a Malabrigo sweater of my own! I'm blaming you for being an enabler...
ReplyDeleteYou are rocking that Malabrigo! I can't wait to see how this turns out!

ReplyDeleteJacey, it's absolutely beautiful. Your stitching looks perfect and I want to roll around in that color for a few hours. Excellent progress!
