#$%^@# Sweater

The struggle to finish the Wicked sweater continues. I was midway through the second sleeve when I decided that I didn't like the sleeves and needed to make the sweater short sleeved. So, I've now ripped out both sleeves, and gotten one of the new short sleeves done. However, I am beginning to think that I may never be done with this sweater.

On the other side, I started my first pair of socks yesterday. I'm using the basic sock pattern from Lion Brand to make them, using a magic stripes yarn, but I decided that simple ribbing was too boring and decided to do a crossover knit instead. I've almost finished the cuff of the first sock, so we'll see how this goes.

I've also fallen in love with my ball winder (just some cheap-o one that I found on ebay). However, the center pull balls are still in danger. Minerva does not seem to mind that these don't roll nicely, and still grabs the balls and runs with them.
