So many choices. So much fun.

My knitter errant ways continued.  The upper back is compete and front 1 is at the base of the collar.


Front 2 is picked up and needs to be knit and joined to make the complete front.  There are a couple inches of working across the full front but it wont take long.  The shaping is leaning to the general shaping of a Lipstick sweater.  It's a good thing too considering how far into it I am.  

I have had company the last couple days.  My brother stopped by.  It is always great to visit but I need to be more responsible about feeding people and tidying up when company is here.  The world can fall around me if I am knitting on my own.  I am not quite as far as I hoped and yet I am pretty pleased with my progress.  The gauge of the sweater is 4 stitches per inch and it is working up nice and fast.

Because I am working with a limited yarn color issue particularly for this light grey, I am going to knit the sleeves as soon as the upper body is complete.  Not quite sure yet how they will look.  I prefer all grey but because of the yarn issue, there might be a switch to the bleached white with the colourwork zigzag from Cait and the darkest grey lice like the bottom section of the Cait.   Or perhaps they will be only white with the lice.

So many choices.  So much fun.
