I actually finished this sweater up this past Tuesday, but had to block and then get a picture. I have almost finished the body of the Tiger Lilly Pullover Redux. I need to skein the yarn for the sleeves and get it soaked and hanging. I did Elizabeth Zimmerman's sewn bind off on the cuffs and the body, and did a Kitchener rib bind off for the neck. I knit this one on size 6 needles instead of size 7 (the fabric with the size 7 needles was just a little too open) so it fits a little closer than the other three pullovers that I have knit with this pattern.
I have also been working on cataloging my yarn stash and am almost half way done. There is still a lot more organizing that I have to do in my studio, but I am steadily chipping away at it. I also volunteered for a transcription project being done by William and Mary. I transcribed my first document last night, a letter. I love history and reading a letter - even a scan of one - from 1866 was just so cool, a little glimpse into a life. I will be doing more.
