Up to my armpits in short rows
I'm up to my armpits in short rows -- literally.
* 
Yarn used: Wool-Ease sportweight in Wheat. Needle size: 4mm.
I've reached the part where I put in the yarn that separates the front of the sweater from the sleeves, and I've been doing my short rows again. This time I've decided to just say "the heck with doing them at random". Instead of being random, they form a V pattern that goes in sort of a reverse-raglan shape from the center of the back towards the arms. When I go "up and over", I'll reverse the shaping on the other side. I hope it turns out okay; the whole idea is to get nicely-shaped sleeves, and I'm just at the point now where I've cast on (invisibly) for those extra sleeve stitches. Pleaseworkpleaseworkpleasework!
Speaking of working, look how hard Beautiful Sheep is working at her modeling job! Ignore the part where she's nibbling a small piece of grass out of the waste yarn in the short row detail picture. She's helping, really!
