Soooo close
I got so close to finishing my sweater. I thought sure the 400 yds of lace weight I'd done would be enough. And it almost was.

Work has resumed
I finished spinning and am now knitting with the most luxurious luxury yarn I've ever knit with in my whole life.
I just can't put it down (not without having a temper tantrum). Even if I never wear it, I will have it in my lap to squish and pet. Crazy soft and cushy. And I thought the alpaca part was soft.
I think I've got enough in the 400 some odd yards I've got but I do have enough fiber over for another 300-400 yards if I need it. Otherwise it will be spun for another project. But it will be spun. Unless I need it for this project, I'll probably wait until it warms up a little so the silk doesn't go quite as nutso.
But so far, so good and on we go.
