Oh lord, it's a sweater!

Yes. I am finally working on a sweater. Hallelujah!

The pattern is from Knitty, which is a fantastic online knitting resource, and is one of my fave ways to find new (and free!) patterns.

Anyway. The back and sleeves are basically knit like a shrug, so I am almost down to the end of my first sleeve- just two inches to go. I'm hoping I won't burn out- at least the body of the sweater has stripes, but the interminable black portions of the sleeves are KILLING me.

My reward for finishing the first sleeve will be to take a picture and post it here. Yes, I am a dork.

I am hauling it along with me to Stitch N'Bitch tonight, so hopefully I'll manage the last few rows in between bites of creme brulee.

Im Baaaaaack....

Yes, after much though, I am diving back in over here at sweatergrrrrl. I missed knitting! I have still been quietly working away on projects, and am probably going to do a lot of updating around there this weekend. So, welcome back!
