OMG, a sweater!!!

I have been pluggin' away at that cardigan. I cast on yesterday at church. Why I am knitting at church though, is a long story. You see, I'm not really old enough to be in the youth group, and there aren't enough people for the kids' Sunday school program, so they're just watching lame movies. So I use that to get more knitting time.


For once I got the right gauge for a project, thanks to my interchangeables. Well, I didn't on my first try, but eventually it happened.

I spent most of my day working on this, and finished the yoke while watching TV today. Why? Because the yoke is BORING, because there were enough stitches to go all the way around a 32" circular, which I'm glad I used to make this because of how there were so many stitches during the raglan increases. But by the time I couldn't take it anymore, it was time to split the sleeves. Exactly the experience a Ravelry user brought up in a thread about projects currently on the needles.

Knitting your first sweater is often a big deal, and to me, it's a HUGE deal. So I'm going to post a picture whenever I finish each part of the cardigan. Putting it here makes it easier to get the pictures on Ravelry too. Here's the yoke.


The body will probably take a few days to do.
