Rushing forward only to stop.

Glee come is progressing nicely.  I finished the back and the left front and went ahead and blocked them.  I don't have enough yarn to knit the sleeves, which I expected, as I am knitting this sweater at a much tighter gauge than recommended in the pattern even though I am using the recommended yarn.  I just didn't like the hand of the fabric at the recommended gauge.  I am much happier with what I have now and am happy to have to order yarn.  But, since I am not sanguine about matching dye lots, and black varies as much, as any other color, I am not starting the sleeves until the new yarn arrives.  In fact I have ordered enough yarn to knit both sleeves even though I have one skein of the original batch remaining.

 

While I am waiting for more black Taglia, I am knitting the right front, which is coming along rapidly.

This is knit in Karabella's Tango, a poly blend novelty yarn.   

 

I've been told the black Taglia will ship out to me in early October so this project is about to hault for a bit.  I should finish the right front today and get it blocked.  I may be able to begin assembly and finishing the neck and front bands, but then I will have to wait.    

 

I will undoubtedly start something new.
