1/7/2009: One sleeve done, another 90% done.

11/11/2008: Nearly ready to start casting off the first sleeve.

11/4/2008: The back is now complete. Only the sleeves left!

10/18/2008: The front is complete, and the back is about 1/3 complete. So far I am enjoying the pattern, though I had some difficulty finishing the top of the front and had to rip it out a couple times. I’m also having a bit of trouble concentrating on the middle section of the back, which is a 24 row pattern, and have had to rip it out a couple of times.

I love the color of the yarn; it’s just beautiful. It’s the first time I’ve knitted with yarn that’s not 100% wool, however, and I don’t like the way it doesn’t hold its shape quite as well. It feels more delicate. It is very soft, though.
