The yellow Callie Cardigan is finished. The clasps arrived today which gave me just the push I needed to weave in five million ends. Obviously, there are many reason not to knit with non-feltable yarn, and weaving in ends is a big one. It's not blocked, the weather is too damp, but if I decide where to put at least one of the clasps, I'm wearing it to work tonight, regardless.
Work on the gray cabled pullover, aka Alexandra Ballerina Top from Fitted Knits, progresseth. There's really no way of telling if sleefs are do-able in a short week (or so). The body isn't quite done yet.
After much trial and error, I have a simple pair of socks going for my uncle. He gets at least a pair every year for Christmas. For no reason that I can fathom, it took something like 4 tries to come up with an acceptable yarn/gauge combo. This will be my subway/car knitting for the next while. No photos, I'm too busy playing with clasps.
More soon.
Show us the clasps! Please. :-)

Yay for you! You've at least got one sweater for Rhinebeck, right? Now, just to finish the other.

FWIW???? This is a big deal, you sweater-finisher, you! WTG. Callie's in my queue - I love yours.

It's over. It's over. Thank God, it's over.
Now you must begin again...
Blessings on your lovely FO (and you too!)
