Long time no post

Well, the Knitting Olympics came along and I knit like a fiend. Here’s what my sweater looked like after about a week:



I didn’t try it on until both sleeves were almost done, which was several days too late. Even though I actually followed the pattern to the letter (which I never, ever do) the sleeves are too tight. The body doesn’t seem big enough either, even though it should have plenty of ease. I suspect that my gauge might have gotten tighter since I was trying to knit for a deadline. It’s been on time out since just before the closing ceremonies. At some point I plan to get it out and see if I can figure out what went wrong. Right now the disappointment is just too fresh. *smile*
