Hello, friends! I finished my new office sweater, and while in my apartment it feels like the hottest, heaviest, least breathable sweater I have ever worn, in my office it just feels cozy and comfortable. Mission accomplished.
I've been watching lots of Olympics coverage this week—I always think I'm not going to care about the summer Olympics, and then as soon as the Opening Ceremony starts I go all in. Someday I'll learn to save up my PTO so I can take the Olympics off from work and just watch the games full-time, but until then I'll do my best to keep up with the replays.
Since the office cardigan is off the needles, I'm back to my striped pullover full time. I finished the back (I made a slight whoopsie with the neck decreases, but it's not big enough to rip back and fix, and I think I can hide it in finishing) and am now on sleeve island. Normally when I knit sleeves flat I prefer to do them at the same time, but given that I'm working with three colors and carrying the extra strands up the side of my work, I didn't want to juggle six balls of yarn, so I'm tackling these sleeves one at a time. I'm just a couple rows into the first sleeve, and hopefully they go as quickly as the back piece did!
That sweater looks like a big, cozy hug! I hope it continues to keep you warm at work. And I do not blame you for not wanting to juggle six balls of yarn -- that's a sure way to make yourself go cross-eyed!
ReplyDeleteEven keeping track of just the three colors gets me tangled up sometimes!
