Hehe. I like that lyric for this post. Guess what I’m finally going to post about? My sweater!
I got the sleeves and body together!
I’m really glad I didn’t try to attach the sleeves and body together on the train from Memphis. I was tempted to, but given the fact that I panicked halfway through and frantically counted stitches, worried I didn’t have enough, I’m really glad I didn’t. (I did have enough stitches. Naturally.) The first two rounds were a little wonky, loose stitches, hard to work with. But it’s gotten much better.
Emerging owls
This is the cablework on the top, soon to be owls like Ember’s cellphone cozy:
OWLS!!
The cozy really helped me see the owls, understand the cable pattern and test out the tension of the pattern before I had 41 owls in a row to work with. It was good practice, and reminded me that there are only actually 3 cable rows in the whole pattern. I really love the color of the yarn, too, which I don’t think the pictures do justice to. I mean, it’s a really deep blackberry color and while not supersoft wool, is a nice texture and stretch. 
Yay! I’m going to end up with an addiction to sweater knitting. I have a new pattern in background already…
