sweater progress

 
I've been continuing to work on this, even when I was making the picnic dresses.  I finished both sleeves, both fronts, and the back, and have joined them into the yoke on a 29" needle.  



Phew!  The first two rows of the yoke, with all 5 pieces, were so heavy and awkward.  It's a little more manageable now that they're all securely joined, but still huge.  The sweater doesn't fit in my knitting basket any more.

I also finished both side panels.



Left to knit: yoke, collar, pockets.  Then a bit of seaming.  Yay!

I really love having so many different creative areas.  I'm so glad I am not the kind of person who only does one thing.  Even though the mono-focus is the best way to get really good at something, it seems so dull.

I hear ya! Jack of all trades and master of nothing!
