You know that part in the Wizard of Oz when the wicked witch puts everyone to sleep in the poppy field? Work has been like that lately: so slooooooooow - mind numbingly, sleep inducingly slooooooooow. No opiates necessary.Knitting has been dull too. Many thanks to my Secret Pal and Polly for the encouragement over Icarus. I did order skein 3 and am eager for it to arrive. In the mean time, I started yet another Last Minute Stripes pullover. Here's most of the front and back:
This one is for my cousin in Kentucky, who is expecting her first baby in August. I'm making the 3-6 month size in the Simply Stripes color "Sweet Tarts." We're going to visit the Kentucky kin at the end of June, so I thought it might be prudent to get started on this project...you know, what with "the end of June" being this week. Did I say it's been slow?? I guess that only applies to working hours.

Glad I could "help" on ol' Icarus. I can't wait to see the final product.
You hauled through the pullover-- Have you ever tried the surprise baby sweater? It's really cool because basically it doesnt even look like a sweater until the near end. it has minimal finishing and is done in all garter st. Check it out some time (if you havent already) it's by Elizabeth Zimmerman
