That's it! The back is done! Now I just have that completely complicated front and two sleeves! Oh man. This is never getting done before Christmas. Ah well.
I'm finding that the more I knit with the Swish Superwash, the more I can't get the blue dye off of my fingers. At least I like blue. I hope the dye doesn't turn my brother into Grover.
I started the bottom of the first sleeve at SNB on Tuesday night.
You can see with clarity the evil size four needles there can't you? Thought so. They will be my undoing. I know you're generally supposed to do the sleeves one after the other, but if I did that, I was going to really go insane. So I decided to split the sleeves up and work on them seperately. I can't wait till this sweater's done and I can go and knit up that really quick Weekend Pullover from Weekend Knitting.
I just wish there were a prayer in hell this would get done before Christmas.

now THAT is what i call dedication.
it looks great, though - can't wait to see the finished sweater!
Your blog is taunting me w/ it's WIP-ness. My camera is dead though so I can use that as an excuse. I have 2 WIPs and ZERO pics. But they're not half as ambitious as this luscious sweater. Wait, I shouldn't use 'luscious' to describe a sweater for a guy. Um, how about burly? or ill? wicked? haha. Nice work.
Wow, but even if it's making you insane, it's going to be a gorgeous sweater. I hope your brother knows how lucky he is!
The sweater is looking great! I hope you can get it done in time, but I'm sure your brother will apprecite it, even if it's late - what dedication!
Jenn is crazy to knit a man's sweater on #4's! SHE'S CRAZY! Like a fox...
