sweater, however, it can get rather boring. Seems socks are more fun that long, drawn out sweaters!
I must admit the armholes were a blast, but there's still 2" left till I reach the back of the neck. At least there's fewer stitches. The one redeeming feature - the color. This is MY color! Sort of an antique Williamsburg blue, so that will make it all worthwhile. And, from looking at the pattern, it seems the front will be MUCH more fun! Anyway, I'm going to finish this sometime soon.
The Gansey has been sitting there patiently waiting for attention and occasionally it is admired and fondled. The initials are complete and it will help pass the time this winter, for sure!
In other news, I am considering starting a St. Louis North County Knitter's Group. Hopefully it will meet someplace close to where *I* live, like the Ferguson Corner Coffee House. Drove by there tonite and noticed they didn't have a huge number of cars parked around, so perhaps they'll welcome a bunch of gossipy women knitting and drinking hot, coffee-flavored milkshakes! If you or someone you know would like to come knit, probably on a Wednesday evening, from 7 to 9 p.m., please email me or leave a comment here. Most likely, this won't happen until mid-October, since my daughter-in-law is going in for surgery next week and would like to be included and learn to knit. Might be fun! Hopefully, it will be a nice, new outlet in North County.

Sweater looks awesome so far!! I still don't know what I'm going to try next. More swatching to come for me. I really want to knit something I already have yarn for...

Wow! What a pretty sweater. The blue is really nice. Good luck!
A North County knitting group??? I would sure like to try it. I know where the coffe shop is and it would be great...right in front of the fireplace. I'll check back for more info.--Susan
