Slow & Steady

I may feel like a hamster running on a wheel with this project, but slowly and surely it is starting to (finally) look like a cardigan!! I'm sure this would knit up faster if I wasn't taking such huge breaks from it to knit other things. But alas, that's my MO when it comes to knitting cardigans/sweaters...I get impatient at how slow it's becoming an FO and quickly switch to a smaller project for that instant gratification. I'm pretty sure a lot of knitters are like that. Yeah?

I've wound up the third (out of four) skein of yarn that I have reserved for this project. I'm beginning to wonder if I'll even dig into the fourth skein, and if not, what am I going to do with 375 yards of merino/cashmere/nylon (MCN) yarn? It's much too pretty to be turned into socks and I wouldn't dare dream of using this for a pair of fingerless mitts. I have about 6 inches left to knit up on the body before I can start on the sleeves, and since I have short arms the possibility of having to use the fourth skein is pretty small (no pun intended). I'm starting to worry that I had made the wrong choice in the size department. Then again, I always think this while knitting garments. Always second guessing myself. I'm really hoping to get this done by the end of March, before I give in and cast on another cardigan. The urge to cast on and start a million projects have been über strong lately. Uh oh. Do I feel a tickle of Starteritis about to happen soon? Hmmm...maybe cause spring is in the air? You know, new starts and all...
