Here's what I'm up to. I'll post a pic of the actual sweater as soon as I get sleeves set in. My wrists have a bad case of one-by-one-rib-itis, and my ass feels like it has become one with this chair, but I'm pleased with its progress thus far. If I had more time (I have a deadline) I'd short-row the shoulders (I think....you can do shortrowing on ribs, right?) so the shoulder seams weren't stairstepped and bulky when sewed...as with most of my projects, I realize how much I don't know. If anyone out there has a good way of knitting on a horizontally-ribbed collar to a vertically-ribbed sweater, please let me know..I just sewed it on in the interest of saving time and simplicity, but it would have been much slicker to attach it as I went.

We had our last class of the season Tuesday night, and now the spring and summer evenings stretch before me, unencumbered...ah. I know, I know - classes get people in the store, maintain the sense of community, all that good stuff - but I love to have this time to regroup and get ready for fall and work out some ideas I've had in the back of my mind for a long time...and we do have a nice bunch of stalwarts coming in on Saturdays, which makes me happy because I like their company!
