Take one on the Train Sweater sleeves appears to have worked– they are about the right size, and seem to be joined to the body in a way that respects the gauges of the various pieces. I’m hoping that they will get a bit wider at the top when blocked. I’m not sure I like the neck and waist borders; I wasn’t planning on the way they want to roll up. It was silly not to, but there you go. I’ll see what blocking can do before making a judgment on whether I like the sweater enough to write out a pattern or not. I have the information on what I did, since it wasn’t very complicated to begin with, but sweaters have this thing called sizes to be taken into account, and tangling with that is a bit intimidating.
Part of me was hoping that with this gone I would return to one of the other projects cluttering up my life (and in one case my desk), but it doesn’t seem that this is likely to happen. I’m feeling drawn instead to make stockings, even though I am quite sure that this is a temporary urge which will desert me after about five inches. I’m also still horribly tempted by a hat I want to make out of leftover yarn; I’ve been telling myself to wait until the patchwork vest is finished, in case I wind up needing more yarn for it, but I don’t want to. I don’t want to at all.
