Is it a sweater yet?

Impressive, isn’t it! And the good news — this is just one of the fronts, and I have 18 more inches to go before I start any shaping. Why do I suspect that this may not hold my interest exclusively for very long?

Thanks for all the advice and good wishes. I am using Felted Knits by Beverly Galeskas as a guide — it has a felted vest pattern in it. And I am fully prepared for it all to fall apart — but now I’m too intrigued by the challenge of trying to make it work to give up. So stay tuned for picture after picture of black stocking stitch…
