Spence-A-Long Update: Partial to Sleeves

Ok, so now that I have figured out that I am doing the increases on my sleeve properly, (thanks ladies for sharing your wisdom with me. It helped more than you know!!) I am making a bit more progress on my sleeve. I think it is coming along quite nicely. Annie did a great job with this pattern. With each row it gets more and more beautiful.

I worked on it today at lunch time, which I find a nice way to take a break from the Hurley burly of the day. Of course I did bring an article to read with me, but it was light reading. I forgot my cabling needle at home, so I used a hairpin I found in my purse. It actually didn't turn out too badly.

Since I discovered this morning that I can blog via my fancy new cell phone, I took these photos with the goal of posting at lunch time. Well, the photos came out pretty good, but I had trouble getting the transmission to go through. Of course, I will try again in a few days to see if I can get it to work.

All in all, I think it is coming together rather well, I hope to finish up the sleeve soon so I can start on the body. It would be so great to finish something. I feel like my house has become the "Land of Unfinished Projects"

Ta,

Eryka

thanks Ellen, it is a silk, wool & mohair blend I got a great deal on it since I needed like 10 skeins for the sweater.

Nice article, can't wait to use it for my family reunion this week. You should post it on Wacanai.com(http://www.wacanai.com/intro). I have got a lot of good info on that website and I have posted some of my own. I just have it linked to my home webpage. They have a good search engine and they have graphs to help you track who is reading your articles.
