The black sweater is together!!!!!!!! Now it needs a single crochet neck band, ends sewn in, and buttons attached. I need to practice my crochet a bit (I've done very little) and shop for some buttons.
The little sunlight we got today is gone and I really needed it for this sweater. It feels really nice when its on, so it may have been worth the heartache.
During the week I have been working on a pair of socks (about 1 row per night) with 2 socks on 2 circs. There is a little more fiddling than when I work with double points, but the joy in not finishing one and having to turn around and do a second is immense.
The first sweater I made, I was advised to work both sleeves at the same time, and I always try to work this way with pieces that are supposed to match. I will work a front (or two fronts in the case of a cardigan) and the back at the same time. This keeps them the same length and with any shaping I am more likely to keep things matching. Of course when you change your mind about a part of the pattern, it creates more work. (Case in point, the pink shell I am going to work on as soon as this post is done.)

I will continue cheering and dancing for a time -- the black sweater is together.
