The Rogue, she is coming a long.  I've moved past the point where the whole body of the sweater can be worked at the same time and now have the back and left front completed.   It's interesting to see the sweater spread out like this.  I don't think I've ever done such a large sweater ths way.  I will say that it's a lot of wool to have in your lap at the end of a very warmish September. 

So far, this sweater is progressing very quickly.  I know it doesn't seem like it from my posting schedule, but when I get time to sit down and work on it, it really does feel like it's just screaming along.  At this point, I'm just a right front and a hood away from having all the main knitting done (I did the sleeves before casting on for the body) so I'm beginning to feel like the home stretch is near.  Once I get the right front done, I may do a little blocking so that I can take a good measurement for the zipper.  Then I can order the zipper (it will definitely be one of those nice heavyweight two-way  zippers) so that it can be on it's way to me while I work on the hood. 

At this point, unless the hood takes up way more yarn than I think it will, I should have no concerns about having enough yarn.  After the right front is done, I should still have two full skeins of the Bartlett's ready to go, so I won't have to spend any time being concerned about undoing swatches to eek out that last little bit of yarn I need for the I-cord edging.

Thank you to everyone who left such sweet words about Z and her Circles sweater.  I am totally biased, but I just think she keeps getting more and more adorable every day, especially now that she's finally getting some hair in.  She is transforming from a baby into a little girl right in front of my eyes.  It's an amazing thing to watch, but I keep wishing she'd slow down a little bit since I'm enjoying her at this age so much.
