Post-cruise Eris!
Oh, what a wonderful and relaxing time for knitting and drinking, knitting and drinking. I’m glad I was at the pretty boring part of this sweater for most of the cruise. It certainly made it easier to knit while watching crazy dancers call bingo.
Anyway … here’s Eris with a good eight inches or so added to the body. I’m not quite believing it, but I’m almost at the point of needing to start the hem. If you click here, you’ll see a detail of the increases for the sleeves and the cabling for the waist shaping. I decided to do the cabling instead of the simple methods because if I’m going to spend this much time on something, I want to go all out.
I was also glad to have this cruise-inappropriate knitting with me for the flight home: the flight was freezing, and they didn’t have any blankets. Eris made a nice bundle of warmth on my lap.
Oh, and Clive is completely astonished by my progress. Yay, me!
