Ahem, ahem.  OK, yes, you are right — the last post in this series was in July.  Just barely not in June.  July 1, to be exact.

Of course, I did include this bad boy in the UFOlympics, so technically, the last post on this project was more like, oh, late August.

Well, you can’t say I haven’t been keeping you in suspense!  It’s been a month since the last post on the wrap cardigan:  and against all expectations, I’ve made a fair amount of progress.

Warning!  Parts of this post are verrrrrry graphic and may be disturbing!

Where we left off:  I had knitted the back to the underarms, the fronts to the underarms, joined ‘em up, and worked my way down to the waistline.  And I was rejoicing over the fit of the armholes.

Well, an update on the stupid wrap cardigan is loooong overdue.

Last post, it was late at night and I had just used the wrong size needles to restart the upper back.  Remember?  I sure do.

I really shouldn’t be allowed to knit late at night.

OK, I’m probably crazy to do this again after the last one, but here goes with another series of Playing Lessons.

This time, though, I’ll be designing the thing myself, so any issues will be mine and mine alone.  (However, this is not guaranteed to cut down on the drama factor.  More than likely, the opposite.)
