So yesterday armed with the new ball of yarn, I knitted the final 7½ rows of ribbing on the neck of the Deep V Argyle Vest, finished it off and now it is blocking. I have no idea when it’ll be dry. I squidged as much water out of it as I could before laying it on plastic bags to dry, as recommended in the pattern. It’s also in my new favourite blocking spot which is on the landing, as there are heating pipes running directly under the floorboards so it’s a fairly warm spot. It would be lovely to have a finished project parade before the end of the month. 
Anyway, I do realise that I’m becoming a bit of a sweater bore right now, with about three weeks of posts with little content other than stranded knitting and steeks. But the end is in sight… until the next project that I get obsessed about.

It’s not boring – it is very very exciting. I have loved seeing the sweater progress so fast. I can’t wait to see modelled pictures. Yipee Kate – it is so gorgeous!
It’s a really nice sweater though!
wow, that looks great. has it really been 3 weeks of sweater posts? they weren’t dull at all. i was curious why you put in that line of crochet though (i’m sure it’s something obvious, but i haven’t steeked yet). does it reinforce the seam rather than machine sewing it?
Oooh, it looks beautiful.
I’ve stalled on my colourwork knitting for now, because I’m being stubborn and insisting on doing one colour in each hand. It’s like learning to knit again, and I’m getting frustrated. Pah.
i agree, it’s not boring. It’s lovely to see something taking shape, i only wish i had time to work as fast!!! If i tried that, i probably wouldn’t eat for a week, and i might end up with pet mice from not doing any cleaning!
