My latest Cardi - nearing the finish line!

Over the weekend, I finished the "knitting" part.  Now comes the scary part - cutting the "steek".
Two strands of lace-weight held together, and every six rows, an added strand of pumpkin silk.  You wouldn't believe how lucious this feels, so warm and so light!  Down the middle is a line of embroidery floss, marking the center of the steek.  On either side, the fabric needs to be stabilized with maching stitching so that the whole thing doesn't unravel when cut.

Up-close of the steek.  The entire sweater is stockinette stitch, so the knitting was lovely and repetitious.  I'm a little worried about the button band - I have so little yarn left.

Today, two coats of greyish-blue paint goes up on the office walls, then later this week, all the Safe-From-Harm window glass goes in.  Hopefully everyone can get back in their office space by Friday, though the security doors are still a week away.
