The Sweater in Progress

Thought I'd share another pic of the sweater. I'm well over half way there, in fact maybe 65% or so. Having finished both front and back panels, I started the first sleeve a couple of days ago. Since Ron had to go to the dentist yesterday, I spend that time working on this...

The picture is a little dark since I needed to use artificial light to take it. But you can see the ribbing and the stripe that will carry up the length of each arm. While at first I wasn't sure I was going to like working the stripe, it turned out to be ok. Especially after I decided to detatch myself from the main yarn and make some of these center-pull "butterflies" which hold yards worth of yarn at a time.

LISTENING TO: The Wolfgang Press - "Queer"

This band is an old favorite. They are no longer around, but were a fairly notable part of the British 4AD label's roster for quite a few years. This is by far their best, drawing on the best parts of their obscure back-catalog while showing us the direction in which they were headed. "A Girl Like You" was the first single from this album.
