There's been a change of plan
When sleeve-knitting time got here, I realized that I hadn't yet designed the sleeves. I threw together a pattern and was happy with it until I started the decreases. This sleeve has been frogged, and the new sleeve will be started later tonight, probably. If I'm not too enhanced.

Blocking the sweater
Front on top, back on the bottom.

We're blocking...we're blocking
The front and back to Ma's sweater are done, so I'm blocking them into shape for to make easier with the sewing together. And watching some old movie. :)

Ma's sweater, the front of
This side has a single knit stitch in the reverse stockinette between the trellis and each diamond panel. That way, I don't have to (badly) sew a tag into the sweater. Go, Kristen!

The back.
Ma's sweater, the back of. I already started the front, and it's motoring along nicely, as well. Yay!

Progress
OK, so this is my favorite part of knitting an aran sweater: I'm far enough along that I can see the pattern emerging. The downside: I'm able to see that the center trellis pattern *siiiiiiigh* is not the same as it appears in the book I got it from. It's supposed to weave over and under, not just go left-over-right at each crossing. I triple-checked both the written and the charted pattern in the book, and I'm following it to a T. I'm still happy with how the sweater is progressing. I'm just going to make some popcorn and mull over whether I should rip and start over or just keep going.

Day 7 - Cablebrain
I started Mom's sweater today, which means that since I woke up, I've been thinking about it, staring at my badly-drawn diagram, copying down panel patterns into my knitting journal so I have all the stitch info on one page, counting stitches, re-counting stitches, staring at a wall, sniffing the yarn, staring at the progress I've made, wondering if the gauge is right, wondering why people can't spell gauge right, or playing Cafe World.
