Nothing new

There is nothing all that new to talk about on the knitting front.  Just thought I would update everyone on the sweater that never ends (sing the song with me, every time I say “the sweater that never ends” I start humming in my head.)  I have been making slow progress on the sleeves.  I keep measuring and measuring to see if I can start the raglan shaping, while unsuccessfully trying to talk myself into 3/4 length sleeves.  I know that I really want full length sleeves.  And I like my sleeves extra long so, I keep knitting.

Another big road block I already see coming is the neck finishing.  Most recently I had intended to make a fairly long kind cowly turtle neck type thing.  I am currently questioning that logic.  The less neck to knit the faster it will be done.  I am really not sure which side of me will win that battle.

I have picked my next project and was thinking I could get away with swatching a little bit to break the monotony, but I need the exact needles I am using now for the sweater that never ends.  I am very tempted to go buy another set of size 4s.  I need to have another cable length in 4s, right?
