Work is such a distraction. OY! There was not much knitting time last week. The weekend was better! I’m very happy about that. There are only 53 knitting days until I leave for Rhinebeck. There’s no time for distractions!
I’ve finally made it past the sleeve divide! It’s starting to look like a sweater! Woot!
The only part I’m not happy with is the spot in the armpit where the cables meet. I had originally decided they were going to end but later decided they should continue all the down the side. I was making lazy decisions in the beginning, yarn-overs instead of angled increases, all left leaning cables because I prefer holding the cable needle in the front. Well, it’s true what they say, proper planning prevents poor production. My cables meet in a rather awkward fashion because they’re going in the same direction. Had I planned properly, I would have mirrored the cables and they could have met in a far more elegant fashion.
I certainly don’t care enough to go back to the beginning and make the necessary changes. I could have positioned the cables parallel to each other rather than merged. I intentionally made another lazy decision though. I don’t want to do four cables on a row, I only want to do two. LOL. Apparently I never learn.
The only place I show off my armpit is riding the bus, as I hang on for dear life. I don’t care if those people judge me for an inelegant armpit. I’m silently judging them too! Welcome to Monday! Luckily, I don’t plan to ride the bus today!
Such a lovely sweater :) And as you say, almost no-one sees your underarm, so it’s all good :)

Thanks! I’m pretty excited now that there’s enough to try on…of course this means I do four rows and then put it on for 10 minutes. LOL! Progress is going slow all of a sudden!
