One done! One to go. More leaves.
The Sockapalooza Sock is finished. Now it just needs a mate to travel with. I like how it turned out, but I'm going to wait until the second one is done until I reveal the pair in all their glory. It's a easy pattern once you get past reading the 36 rows of chart.
I'm taking a break from socks on size 0 needles and decided to knit more on the Poetry in Stitches Leaf cardigan. I will be done with the body once I finish another leaf motif (green/dark green) and then it's off to the sleeves. I'm hoping that they go pretty fast--increasing in pattern will be entertaining--but they must go faster than the body rounds. The size 2 needles feel HUGE compared to the sock needles.

I was just checking out the sleeve instructions for 136 today, and lo and behold, there's not exactly any steek stitches there, it's just cutting in the wilderness!
yipes.
I'm past the bottom floral part, now on to the beige on beige part. I may catch up with you yet!

Oh boy, I had better hurry up and knit faster! I think that's what we need here for finishing these sweaters--someone breathing down our necks :-)
I'm a little scared about the cutting, myself. I've never cut without steeks. I may machine stitch this one, to be safe.

I love your leaf sweater -- isn't it a fun knit? It's one of my favs to wear, too.

Your Poetry sweater is beautiful. Aren't they fun to make? I just finished a different one from the book; cutting the steeks wasn't too scary, although I did machine stitch them first. I tried to crochet-secure the steek ala Meg Swansen but realized I hadn't set up the steek properly for that method from the start. Best wishes!

Is it wrong that I'm really hoping I'm you're sock pal? Your sweater is lovely too. Can I have that while I'm at it? :)
