Progress!

cashlainesweater.jpg

Well, it's been more than two weeks since I took this picture with every intention of posting it on the blog. But I have hardly had the time for blogging lately as I have been busy with work, emails, a weekend trip to Shikoku for a soccer tournament, a weekend at my friend's place near the beach and a business trip to Tokyo, among other things. It's been such a busy month that I can't believe it's nearly over.

Anyway, this is the progress picture I took of my Cash Laine sweater at the beginning of June when I was still in the habit of knitting regularly. I had to lay it out on my old Hourglass because i realized that when I was about to cast on for the second sleeve, I only had three skeins of yarn left. How did that happen? I definitely need two skeins to knit the sleeve. Then there is still a decent half-skein hanging off the body, plus a smidge at the top of my finished sleeve which ideally means there will be a smidge from the top of the second sleeve as well. But that yoke is wiiiide.

WIll I actually be able to make the slightly smaller neckline that I dreamed of with this sweater?* It's not looking good. But you can never be too sure, and if I made it this far, what's a few more rows?
