My knitting can evolve and change

The body is done!  The body is done!

I am pretty darn pleased.  

You see what I mean about the grey.  It would look peppier if I had used a darker grey but so it goes.  It may not be everyone's colour range.  I am not sure it is mine, but it has been extraordinarily fun to knit.  If you want fun it a knit, it is hard to do better ghan this sweater.  There will no doubt be more of these narrow stripes with the wonderful play of colours.  

I have been thinking about sleeves though.  This sweater has closer fitting sleeves than the grey Mrs. Hunter's sweater.  I have been struggling to knit the last sleeve on that, so I hope these will be easier.  While I was pondering sleeve problems (small circular needles), it popped into my head that I ought to try magic loop.  

I love knitting on DPNs but sometimes there are too many stitches, such as on the grey sweater.  I seem to cramp up on the short circs and it makes the process a problem.  Trying magic loop may be a good option because my hands will get a break and a change of movement as I move the stitches on the cables.  It seems fiddly to me but it may be the solution to the issue I am having.  

I have always been a devotee of DPNs and metal tipped circular needles but it only makes sense to try different things to resolve a problem.  I hope this helps.
