Lace pullover half done!
This isn't a great picture but you get the idea: the body of the lace pullover is finished! Knitting the body in one piece in the round goes so fast it always shocks me to see the progress I make in such a short period of time. For this pullover I wanted a casual, cozy pullover so I chose to make it without any waist shaping and with about an inch of ease in the bust. For the sleeves I'm going with full-length sleeves that are completely straight, for a big of a 70's vibe. I have a few inches knit on the first sleeve and imagine I'll be able to finish both in the next week or so. Once they're knit to the armholes I'm going to join and knit the whole sweater in one piece, doing raglan decreases and working a scoop neck . . . or at least, that's the plan right now! We all know that designs morph right on the needles . . .
