The sweater from hell is about to take a repeat impingement upon my time. Why? Mainly, because despite one's best visualization, things don't always turn out the way one wants. The long and short of it is that the end result was way too busy. So it is currently being frogged (not by me, thank goodness) and I will probably get it back in the mail way sooner than I really want it to be here. Oh well. I did a darn fine job of it too, but wasn't happy with the end result. I will be much happier knowing that it will be done correctly.
In the meantime I am floating merrily through Zauberflote. I am no longer weaving in the strands every two or three stitches, I only catch the float if it is 6 stitches or longer. Yeah, I know people go longer, but at the moment that is my comfort level. And boy, does it speed up the process considerably! I may even like this sweater despite myself. Good thing that my perspective on color has changed a bit!
Next on the horizon is to get that pesky bookmark finished for my last quarter's bookmark exchange. I've gotta relax on that perfectionism.
