I just realized that my sweater actually looks notably different than it did the last time I posted a photo, so here's a new one. I haven't knit a lot each day, but at this gauge it adds up quickly. The body now measures nine inches below the underarm.
Today I bought a 40" circular needle for use on the bottom edge. The 32-incher I had in it felt too congested for comfortable knitting. Plus I can get a better idea of the fit when I try it on without having to transfer some of the stitches to a second needle every time. I have a bunch more of this yarn, so I know the needle will get used.
Unfortunately, by the time I get this photo edited and posted I won't have time to blog anything else before I need to get to bed. Not that I have anything else to blog.
"congested."
I like it.
A term usually reserved for OTC cold medication applied to knitting.
Excellent.

I totally get the need for a 40-incher when you're dealing with stitch back-up on the needle express. Methinks you are very close to achieving new sweater!

Yay, an almost sweater! You could finish this while in Portland, if you knit your way through every event, LOL.
