I have a plan

Well, I've got it all worked out. First, I finished the Bright Spring socks.

Normally I have another pair in the offing, and cast on as soon as one is finished. I do have a couple of pairs on the needles, but they'll wait. I need to focus on the Cardi-Wrap, so as to finish on schedule.

Okay. The schedule. I decided I can't do "x # of rows per day" with this sweater. The row length in the front panels is much longer than the sleeves, which is longer than the edging. I think in order to make steady consistent progress, I need to do it by stitch count. So, I spent much of today working it all out on spreadsheet, and I think I've come up with a workable schedule. There's an approximate total of 26,700 stitches. I'm aiming to finish by the week before Christmas. (It's not Thanksgiving, but I'll have much to be thankful for this Christmas, so it'll still be my Thanksgiving Sweater.) I'm giving myself 40 days, I'm now done the back,

and I can finish the rest by doing @570 stitches a day. Based on that, I'm allowing 11 days each for the front panels, 5 days each for the sleeves, 3 days total for the cuffs, and 5 days total for the front edges. After that, a few days to allow for finishing and I'm done. Sound like a plan?

I WILL finish on schedule. And if I finish a piece ahead of schedule, I won't rest on my laurels, but will forge ahead.
