Yesterday I decided that I absolutely had to start the second sleeve for Z's Zebra Striper Sweater. October and cooler weather is fast approaching, and since even after I finish knitting this sleeve, there are still ends to be woven in, a sweater to be steeked, sleeves to be sewn in and the neckline and fronts to be edged -- clearly I need to get going or plan this sweater to be for another child other than my own.
So, after knitting the two rows on the Dragon Shawl that I do ever day that I have free time in the daylight (I'm now up to 80 rows completed and have just started on the head of the dragon), I cast on for the second sleeve. The picture was meant to show an unconventional angle on the sleeve -- after all, if I showed the same things as I did for the first one, the second sleeve would be just as boring to read about as it is to knit (after the brief two color motif at the wrist, it's pretty much just plain stockinette until the bind off). I sort of like how the purl bars line up and alternate on the inside. The good thing about it being simple after the cuff, though, is that it will be easy to take with me to Austin next week when we head down south for a long weekend.

I am always looking for more interesting ways to do my knit photography (though I should start with taking more photos). There are only so many ways to take a picture of a sock in progress that most of the time I don't even bother!
I wish someone I know would produce a baby girl so that I could knit that sweater for them. I'd forgotten I had a burning passion for it until right this minute.
Chuckle. If I had known, I would have happily shared my baby girl with you :-)
