I've been making great progress on both sweaters so far this fall. Right now I've found myself drawn to the stripey fingering weight project. There are so. many. short rows. As I worked I remembered that the first time I knit this pattern I couldn't wait to be done with the short rows. It's similar this time. I felt myself itching to get to the easy in-the-round part not because of the counting, but because of the purls!
At long last I did finally finish them (complaints aside, they really do make for quite a cool hemline) and I got to my first stripe! At this point it's potato chips - when can I get to the next stripe?! It's been going pretty quickly. I must thank my past self for taking such good notes in the pattern with respect to row counts, when stripes started, etc. There has been minimal thinking required this time because of that.
I should probably return to the sweater that needs to be done by Christmas soon, but just look at those stripes!
