Happy knitting [like mad] to everyone who hasn't finished yet. YOU CAN DO IT!
Those of you who are still working: you can do it! The finish line is just ahead.

The caption here (left) is "Mom, I don't have any makeup on -- I look terrible!" Mom says, "So, I'll take the picture from back here. We want to see the cable, anyway."
(right)This is sleeve #1, on the arm of her brother, as she was on the phone & didn't want to model. I've finished it and am actually further along than this on sleeve #2. I just realized that if I don't get back to work on this, I'll wind up like a certain snowboard cross racer who thought she had enough of a lead to get fancy, then crashed & lost the gold.
I messed up on the middle section, so I had to think of some compromise. I HATE frogging.
Never mind that hole, I did the cable section before I read the errata on the double increase. And don't mention the right twist where it should have been left.
And the hood:
Cable messups in all the sections, yeah. But it's not for me. So I'm not worrying.
I tried to have it be a kids' 10...I thought I had gauge, so I configured it to a 29" chest based on a 4.5 sts/in gauge. Well? Turns out my gauge was one full stitch off. So, the final recipient will have to wait until I make a bigger size. Darn. I shoulda used bigger needles.
As of last night, the second sleeve is done and sewn up. Pictures to come!
And looky-booky: I did think of a little prize!
Here are the details: Everyone who posts at least one update in the next 2 days (a bit tight of a dealine, yeah, but the olympics are almost over!) will be eligible for a skein of handpainted (by me, I love dying! I mean, as in dying yarn.) yarn in the colorway and weight (as in worsted, etc, not as in 8oz) of their choice! I will choose the names during the closing ceremonies! Dawn, Sarah, Julie, and Erika are all already eligible. Maybe this will attract more attention to the team...
