Sweater progress, lace shawl

Working the yoke is monotonous. All those stitches. I thought it was a lot of stitches when I was working the body. I know I'm decreasing, but each round I work seems just as long as the previous one.

I see all these sweater patterns that I really like, but I'm not sure I'm willing to do another sweater any time soon.

I've been neglecting the lace shawl. It is not in jail, but it is resting while I finish the sweater.

I would work on the sweater during my lunch break, but for obvious reasons that is impractical. Any project taken to work needs to be small. Like socks or my current purse project Fetching.

Hourglass Sweater and Yarn Diet

Well I finished the second sleeve and have now attached the sleeves and am working on the yoke. I think I may very well reach the current goal of finishing by the end of this month. But I have already passed so many target completion dates for this sweater, I don't want to get my hopes up. At least it is looking like a sweater now, instead of three tubes of stitches.

I do think that I will be massively breaking the yarn diet this weekend. But it depends on a few things.
