This time yesterday, I still had the back and most of one sleeve to go. Sure, this is a child's sweater, but the difficulty factor is multiplied by my having to write down the pattern as I go so I can give it out in the Sweater 101 class I start teaching on Friday.

The sweater is now seamed, ends woven in, and I'm getting ready to sit down and pick up the stitches for the ribbed v-neck.

Woohoo!

For a while last week, I thought I might be in danger of pulling a Bode Miller and not even trying. Now, with the end in firm sight, let's hope I don't pull a Jacobellis in the final meters.
