Damn you Peachy, for noticing my silence on the subject of the USMP.
I finished knitting it while on my vacation week. But I haven’t done anything with it yet. I have this fear that the arms aren’t going to match up with the armholes, and that that line won’t really go away, so I’m avoiding the pieces like the plague. I’ll get around to them again, I swear.
I could take a picture and post it, but what would you see? Two sleeves getting imperceptibly longer as the hours progress.
I’m knitting both sleeves of Pam at the same time so that I can be sure the two sleeves will be identical. It’s a common enough method, I know—my mom always did it this way, too—and it only slightly goes against my ‘one thing at a time’ mentality. But it means progress appears slow. I keep trying to remind myself that “hey! when you’re done, you’re done!” but that is little comfort when I’m now squeezing a million stitches onto these small circulars, and I think I’m still miles away from finished.
Progress Pam! You know, I really don’t much care for the name Pam. No offense to Pams out there, of course, but it’s just kind of blah to me.
Of course, the Pam sweater is not blah at all. It’s full of cables, moss stitch, and, uh, ribbing. And I’m more than 3/4 of the way done!
I can only imagine that there are thousands of knitting blogs with this title in their archives, but I’m lacking in originality today. Introducing . . .
