I have finished the sweater design and begun knitting the sweater bottom ribbing. For this project, I wanted to get all of the instructions written out first, so that I can proof the instructions as I knit the garment. So earlier this week I finished typing up and printing the directions out.
I did finally decide to double the yarn and knit on US size 4 needles (still need to take a picture of the swatch). This should be much easier on the TKGA reviewers. Still, the sweater is over 300 st around the body. Knitting time is limited, since I do work. I'm excited about finally starting and hoping to be done by early February. I may have to travel for work for a couple of weeks towards the end of January. Although that usually means airline knitting time, it really ends up being less knitting time overall since work gets pretty all-encompassing while travelling.
