I’m dangerously close to being done but unfortunately dangerously close to running out of brown yarn. I really don’t want to buy another ball just for the neck and sleeve ribbing, but I love the cascade 220 enough to make a sweater out of it. So as long as I need one more I might buy 5 and make something cool.

So I was thinking yesterday that it was strange that I didn’t take any progress shots of my argyle vest. When I looked in my pictures folder this morning I saw that I did in fact take pictures, as well as pictures of other things, and never made a post.

According to the image properties, that photo was taken on February 23rd. I wonder why I didn’t post it? Possibly because I had a cold when I started it, which should explain why I did about half the ribbing I was supposed to. I might pull it out and work in the other direction. So heres what it looks like today:

I’m only 3 rows away from the neck steeking and I am FRIGGIN PUMPED. I don’t know why, because theres still one third of the knitting to do, I guess I’m excited about something different.

I bought the yarn for the northern lights mittens in about november and I did the ribbing and set it aside until about a month ago, when I picked it up again and knit like crazy on it. After all the sweaters I’ve worked on lately I totally forgot how fast mittens go.
