I have cast off the rainbow arm warmer, and tested out my Mighty Sight glasses with the light in them by sewing up the fuchsia arm warmers. I still have three other pairs to sew up, but one a day is plenty.
I have also settled on the patterns for my next sweater. I'm using the basic pattern of a sweater I knitted a while back that I know fits comfortably. That will give me the number of stitches I need and all the shaping. It's crew necked, drop shoulders, so about as straightforward as it gets.
Then I'm using another pattern for the lace panels. I'll be doing three panels instead of the five on the original (which would have been way too big for me) and I'll have basic 6 stitch cables between the lace panels... That'll be more or less it. Oh, and I'll be using a lovely plum double knit yarn.
