The sweater is growing.
I figured out where I left off and finished up the two fronts. Then I had to rip out the bind-off of the back and reknit the last little bit (It needed a deeper armhole.). I reshaped the shoulders, and bound it off again. And now I'm well under way on the first sleeve.
Look at me. I knit!
------
Pattern and yarn info: The pattern is called G'Day, from Berrocco pattern booklet #276/Geode & Jasper. The yarn is Geode. My colorway is 3646, Tigers Eye, which as you can see, also coordinates quite nicely with a Yorkie's coloring. Unfortunately, the yarn has been discontinued.
It is looking good! I only seem to get knitting done during my breaks at work and Saturdays. My cooking day completely makes it impossible to knit or I would be working on a sweater too!

That's the advantage of picking up an old project - you're practically done already!
I think it'll end up being your favorite sweater...

It is looking good. I love the colors in the yarn...too bad it has been discontinued.

It's beautiful! And you're almost done -- just in time to wear it all winter. Yay Norma!

Great sweater! I want one just like it, except that I would die of heat prostration in a worsted weight wool sweater, even 50/50 wool/acrylic. (Good thing I live in a cold climate.)

I was thinking the same thing myself. It matches Mr. Jefferies! (sp?) It's a lovely sweater!

Yay!

Doesn't everything look good with a Yorkie? I certainly think so, anyway -- and apparently Mr. J does, too, since he likes to pose with whatever you're photographing!

Beautiful sweater. Always good to get back into knitting on something that is almost finished.

“We need to be asking: What is the problem for my dog? Not: What is the problem for ME? Why is my dog not heeling on the left? Why does she keep going to the right? Maybe there are better smells on the right. Maybe the dog is right pawed. Just as with most people, most dogs have a preferred paw.”

I'm not quite good at knitting, but i love it. Between my brakes at work i can make up something just for pleasure. As i see it, you are getting a great pleasure from knitting!
