Sorry, no new pictures this week. Just side 1:
and side 2:
from last week.
The big problem with doing something like this is that the early rounds make it look like it's building quickly, as each round is short. Now, the rounds take a while, so it doesn't look like much is happening each round. Or rather, each oval.
But I made some important decisions with regards to how I'm going to make this sweater-shaped. I'd explain, but it won't make much sense in writing, and I don't have visuals yet.
First it needs to be the width I want. Each round adds about an inch. I'm over halfway done, but it still feels like I'm crawling.
And, at this time of year my palms and the soles of my feet sweat, so that makes for uncomfortable yarn work. (Although, crochet is way easier than knitting.)
I feel a bit lighter with a plan in place. Now, if the weather would just cool off a bit, I might feel like working on it more.
