"Nuttin but knittin" - that says it all, with an occasional deviation into the real world.

The "Fronts"
Are done! On to the sleeves.....
Then, the tricky part. Blocking, picking up the front band, and putting it all together. NOT looking forward to any of that. Totally out of my comfort zone!!
It looks beautiful now. I can't wait to see it finished. I wish I was brave enough to attempt the cables and other very complicated looking stitches....someday. Can't wait to see the finished sweater.
It is beautiful! The extra wraps really add to the beauty of the sweater. Seeing your progress is making me anxious for my hand and wrist to heal enough to get back to my MHC too. May not be your "comfort zone" but you are doing a great job!
Darn - I wish I had thought to add that extra little cable - makes it so much more balanced! It is beautiful! I know how you feel about the finishing....I'm there on my sweater too... BLAH! I'm so afraid I'll ruin it.
I didn't realize you were knitting this, too! Your MUST HAVE CARDIGAN is lovely and you really must consult me the next time you and Shirley choose another project..I'm feeling left out...LOL
Great image on the post. The grey is lovely. I never would have picked it ....See? You put a new knit thought into my head! Cables, I think they may be my summer thing this year...
The blocking so intimidates me, and the finishing. You go!
Happily married for 42 years, mother of two adult children, owned by one 4.2LB Chihuahua, retired from the crazy work world, and totally in love with my first grandson, BG! Oh - and I knit (and spin) - whenever I have a spare moment. Guess that about sums it up!

You're really making quick progress. It looks wonderful. Can't wait to see it finished!
You just gotta love socks. They keep us in our comfort zone, don't they?
The sweater is just gorgeous and so well knit.
You are some prolific knitter.
It looks great.
You'll be fine with the sewing up and band. Soon you'll be wishing for fall so you can wear those lovely cables.

That is one gorgeous sweater!!! I love the pattern --- so textured looking. Your flower shots are pretty, also.
