...and split!
Yes, this is definitely Significant Progress. I'm realising that I was classifying 'significant' not so much in terms of the number of stitches, but in hitting some kind of landmark in the sweater after spending so long going round and round in the same cable pattern. This project has been remarkably landmark-free thus far, being knit in the round with no waist shaping and a minimal rib at the hip, so starting the armholes AND the V-neckline is almost more excitement than I know what to do with in one day.
This sweet little split of the cable just below the V-neck is one of the details that, for me, pops this design from 'OK' to 'rather nice, actually'. One day, I will develop the photography skills to do it justice... or not, actually, because I don't seem to have the drive to actually sit down and learn them! That's more J's thing.
The rest of the weekend-so-far has been remarkably awesome, also. The wine is stabilised, the beer is bottled. I've found a place for the brew tub to live in the garage, whilst in use, so now the weather is heating up (relatively speaking), we can brew out there and not clutter up the kitchen sides with a 40 pint bucket, and last night I wound some yarn. That's 4 out of 8-and-1-maybe goals for the weekend achieved, right there. I don't know about you, but I'm impressed.
Wanna see the yarn? Really? Oh, OK then...
Sounds like a successful weekend all round there then Ota! Not only that there is still another day to go - well done you :-)

Oh, that is a nice touch on the neck! I'll have to remember that
