Half Way

I passed the half-way point on Mermaid — in the dark on the way home from a concert in Pittsfield MA Sunday night.  Mermaid is not the best knitting in the dark project and I think, if I see more knitting in the car at night on the horizon I will have to find a project on bigger needles.

Mermaid is pretty easy but you do have to count at times.  The tough part last night was picking up the yarnovers and knitting them together with the next stitch as I finished the center back gussets.   Mermaid is pretty easy to feel on the needles  although small stitches are not as easy as big ones, espeically as I approach the end of a row, where it is much to easy to drop things. 

I think for piece of mind, knitting blind is better done at a much larger gauge.

Of course, by half way, I am not counting the sleeves.
