Satin has sleeves. Well, partly.

Because Satin is an oversized style sweater, the sleeves aren't really very long, so I only have 30 rows to go. Then it's just the front, seaming and neckband. Just. ;)

I also restarted the Mountain Colors sock, but now it was coming out too big. I'm using the "Purl Lace Socks" pattern from Socks, socks, socks.
I didn't want too fussy a pattern, because of the lovely variegated colours in the yarn, but I didn't want plain stocking stitch, because I get bored, and I'm already doing Stocking Stitch on Satin.
I was using 2.5mm needles, but I have frogged it, and I'll restart on 2.25mm needles.
Last day of school today, I just have to take Em to school tomorrow for an hour for Parent Teacher interviews, then it's school holidays. Yay. At least I get to sleep in for two weeks :)

At least by doing Satin's sleeves both at the same time, there'll be no procrastination on them. Wonder why the sleeves are looking so pale....you aren't changing colors, are you?

Okay - I'm losing it. I just glanced at the picture and thought, "Wow, Donna is knitting herself a bikini top!" Hee!
