Here's a pic...
Taking into account Kerowyn's Mom's comment about the sleeves, and the fact that I'm not so sure about the quantity of yarn, especially since I'm changing from worsted to DK, AND I'm thinking this more of a layered over spring transitional sort of sweater in this yarn, I may end up just doing the sleeves to the elbow. What do you think?
So? You saw the beginning of a swatch there? Didn't ya? That's me being a good kid!!
Hurrah me. I deserve a cookie.
Y'want one too? Okay.
Head on over to Joy the Baker blog and mix up a batch of her flourless PB cookies. They only take 4 ingredients and 15 minutes and are HEAVENLY. Enough motivation like that and I might even swatch the LACE PART!!
Wow, them's some good cookies!

I have started another BSJ--this one is going much better.
I will have Fred bake us some of these gour met cookies.
@judemiller1 - I'm so tickled that you like the sweater and that it's going well for you. I did warn you that they were addicting, didn't I? My second one went much easier than my first, too. I think it's just translating from EZ to intuitive that's the difficult part. Hurrah YOU!! And enjoy the cookies! I'm making them today, too, but I'm going to try them with sunbutter ... made from sunflower seeds. Wish me luck!
@kerowynsmom - You're right. I didn't like it. I'm glad you suggested I swatch the lace. It saved a lot of wasted work. Back into the stash it goes. Someday I'll find the right pattern for that yarn, I'm sure of it. Hugs, ~Chris
