I was right about the incorrect stitch count on the Xanax Sweater - by the time I finished the decreases called for in the pattern, I had WAAAAY more than the 29 stitches I should have had. I am admittedly somewhat brain-fried, but I re-read the pattern multiple times and cannot see where I screwed up, it's very plain vanilla easy and I did what it said. It's almost like there is a piece missing...but that's very odd since this pattern was generated by Sweater Wizard, and I've done raglans from SW before without incident. Anyway, I just continued the raglan decreases, with some minor juggling, until I hit the right stitch count, no big deal. I was just surprised to hit what is either an error in the pattern, or evidence that I really can't read anymore. I'm working the v-neck trim now, and then this baby is DONE. That's the beauty of a pullover in the round, when it's done, it's DONE. Except for weaving in some ends, of course. Photos to follow....


Of course, if the Xanax Sweater is done, it means I need to cast on another mindless project - maybe this one can be the Valium Sweater. I have a lot of Cotton Fleece from eBay, in dark denim blue, black, and a nice purple. I'm thinking a big, comfy v-neck cardigan in the dark blue. I'm very fond of v-necks, as you may have guessed, and I'm blessed to work in a casual, jeans-wearing office. We only "dress up" when the home office people visit, and that means nice slacks instead of Levis. I'm spoiled by the atmosphere, but I served my time in suits and silk blouses and hose and heels. Anyway, a nice blue cardigan would be great - I can throw it on the back of my chair and have it handy when a chilly meeting room beckons, and since I wear jeans 90% of the time, it's hard to go wrong with a nice deep denim blue cardigan. It's a construction company business suit. And I need to start the Sitcom Chic for Sorority Girl, too. And I still haven't cast on my felted Market Bag. Too much to knit, not enough time.
