The sleeve that went on forever


Leo Sleeve

When this sweater is done it will be a miracle. The gauge is so small and knitting a man sized sweater on size 3's with cotton has not exactly been a quick knit! I absolutely love the way this sweater feels. Unlike some of the larger gauge patterns I have knit up like Salt Peanuts, this feels like something one would buy at a store, and it looks frickin fabulous!
Jered and I are heading to Baltimore for the weekend to visit my friend Liz. I think it's going to be about a 3 hour drive, so I'm taking Leo along and hope to finish the first sleeve. I'm also taking along the camera, so hopefully sunday night or monday morning I should have a nice big picture post.
I've never been to Baltimore, but I'm very excited to visit Liz. I hear there are some decent yarn shops there so maybe i'll get a chance to check them out.
We got an outrageous electic bill last night so we have been trying to conserve more energy. It is crazy, we live in a relatively small one bedroom apartment and never keep the air below 77 and it was still outrageous. I can't wait for summer to be over, this humidity and heat is just dragging me down.
Luckily, we're halfway through the really hot stuff, at least I sure hope so. If I keep telling myself that it will be true, right?!
