I kind of took a week off from knitting. I’m not entirely sure why (though some of it was cleaning and organizing). Thanks to friends this weekend, I fixed up my too-pointy hood and started and finished a sleeve. They’re blocking now:

I’ve started the second sleeve, but the chances of me finishing by Friday are slim. Which I know is okay, as it’s really 12 sweaters a year, and not necessarily one sweater a month, but it still kind of sucks because there’s really no reason why I couldn’t have made it. I could still do it if I were willing to pick up stitches for the ribbed edging on the front, but in order to get a pretty tubular edge, I’m going to knit the edge separately and then attach it with free-loop backstitch. So, chance are I’ll be behind. I did order a zipper last night, though, which I think is the best closure for me and for the casual nature of the sweater.
