I haven't posted about my Thanksgiving sweater lately, but only
because I haven't had time to post. I've had plenty of time to knit,
and as you can see, am on schedule and almost done.
Here's the right front:
Patternwise, it's not an exact duplicate of the left front, but as they drape down, I don't think they really need to be. They coordinate. Good enough for government work.
Both sleeves are done, and they are a thing of beauty, if I do say so myself.
Where they overlap, you really have to squint to see where one ends and the other begins. And, the beauty of it is, I didn't really plan it that way. I figured it'd be too hard to try to match it up exactly, so I was just going to let the pattern fall where it may. Like an orchard in the fall. I finished up one sleeve, and started right in on the next, and soon realized they were matching up perfectly. See, there *is* a God <G>.
That's the good news. The bad news is that I'm now at a standstill. I don't have the yarn for the cuffs and front edges, and due to a recent job change, won't be able to get the yarn 'til things stabilize a bit. That's okay. Every time I look at the matching sleeves, I'll be reminded to be thankful for all the little (and big) unexpected gifts God blesses me with. Just when I think things aren't going to work out, voila. Jesus loves a ta-da finish. <G>.
In the meantime, I'll keep myself busy with another pair of socks. Just a pair of Lion Brand Magic Stripes in red, gray and black, but they do make a nice sturdy pair of socks. I'll take a picture of them when I have the strength. It's been a very long day, and I need to take a nap before bedtime. One of those days.
