KNITSTER

Only kidding. It’s not killing me yet. I think lack of sleep and stress are doing that. But still working on the sweater for the hubby to have it ready in time for his birthday. I might be able to swing that if I can just continue to make or find moments to work on it.

 The body part is now done. I finished the right side panel the other day. I almost had a crisis as I dropped a stitch near the end of the whole thing. I tried recovering just the stitch, but ended up frogging to that spot, and I was able to recover the whole thing that way, thankfully. It looks all better, and now the two front panels and the back are done. The first sleeve is already on the needles, and the first section done of the sleeve. Funny how the pattern doesn’t say make two. I’ll make two anyway. That should be relatively quick stitching, so there’s a good chance, at least at this date, that I could actually pull it off– have the sweater ready by JC’s bday. And it’d be a cool 40th bday present for him too! Here’s to finding some more time to work on it!
