Yarn Along

Well, it may not look like much progress, but my goal for this week was to get back to the point I was before I had to rip back a bit.  I think I’ve made it there.  It’s not far from the point where I need to start working on the sleeves for this pattern, as the body is nearing the underarms, and that’s where they are supposed to join with the sleeves, and the circular yoke will be worked all in one piece.

I think the point where I need to start the sleeves will be a good pausing point in this project.  This isn’t top of my work list, but I picked it up because the Brooklyn Tweed was calling to me, and the yarn for the project that was top priority wasn’t in yet.  I just got that yarn in this last week for variation #2 for my Lady Pearl Pullover that I want to release around August. Since that’s a higher priority, I think I should cast on soon.  It will be really fast, though, and a temporary break from this fingering weight color work that’s isn’t exactly fast.  One must avoid burn out on a project, you know.

I actually didn’t get any reading done this last week, so I’m stealing my book for the picture from Silje’s current read: The Penderwicks.  It’s from the summer reading list I gave her that was compiled from various recommended reading lists.  When she checked it out from the library, the librarian swooned and said she remembered reading it with her parents when she was a child.  It was her favorite and she read it over and over.  That certainly perked Silje’s interest, and honestly, mine as well.  I may just have to join her…at least for her second round through, because she never reads a book just once.
