Sweater progress

I used F's last unexpected marathon nap to put some serious time into this.



In the photo, left front is on the needle and right front and back are on holders, right after splittng for armholes.  Now both fronts are done and I am all set to continue the back.

This pattern is a bit fiddly.  I don't think I would reccomend it.  In order to continue in pattern after dividing the fronts and back, you just have to 'read' the knitting; the charts do not tell you what to do at all.  And I wonder what the point of a pattern is if you have to figure out a lot of it yourself.

But anyway, I like the way it looks.  I tried it on and it is fitting really well.  Both the ribbing and the lace are super-stretchy, so it clings just enough.  I hope it still fits well after blocking.
