Alys

 

I got back to work on Alys last night and have gotten a couple of inches past the underarm area.  Despite the fine yarn and the small gauge, this really does move along pretty well.  It’s not as fast as a worsted weight cardigan, but I don’t expect it to be.

I've started alternating rows with the second skein.  I’m nearing the end of the first skein so I knew it was time to start working in the next one.  This has slowed me down a tiny bit, but at this point I’ve alternated skeins enough that it doesn’t take too much extra time.  I’m changing skeins at one of the underarms, on every right side row.

In other news, Maximus has found himself a new hobby - knocking over trash cans.  Between this and his lightly striped tail, I’m starting to wonder if he has raccoon DNA in there somewhere.  He is seriously a very strange cat.
