Winter Sunrise

Back in December, I started knitting a pullover.  I was hoping to have it finished by now, but things happened and I'm still working on it.  This is the Sammensat T pullover and I'm knitting it in Malabrigo Arroyo in Rosalinda.  I'm going to make either 3/4 length or long sleeves, but right now I'm at a place in the body where I need to try it on to check the body length.

The original pattern uses a mostly cotton yarn and I'm using 100% superwash wool.  The pattern is written for practically no edgings, just a good blocking at the neck, hem, and cuffs.  I'm not sure that will work in this yarn and I won't know until I get it finished and blocked (or at least finish the body and block the neck and hem edges at that point), so right now I have no idea how my edges will be finished.  My back up plan, if everything rolls on me, is to do a simple crochet edge, as narrow as I can get away with since the minimal edges were something that I liked about the design.

So to sum up, I'm knitting a pullover and have no idea how much farther I have to go on the body (until I try it on), I have no idea what my edges will look like exactly (until I have blocked them), and I don't have concrete directions for the sleeves beyond the short sleeve length written in the pattern.  This sweater is kind of a metaphor for my life right now - I kind of have a plan, but I'm basically winging it and I have no idea if any of it is going to work.

I hope you all have a lovely weekend!  We're supposed to get some rain, so we'll probably spend the weekend alternating between lazing around in pajamas and cleaning up Obi's feet!
