I gave ya’ll a chance yesterday, but it seems that Ballerina is a fan favorite.¬† Maybe not quite the appeal of Kauni Damask (which should be back in work shortly – I do want to wear her to Rhinebeck), but popular nonetheless.¬† Okay, this morning I stopped knitting a row short of where I could have on the ferry so as to get a good flat picture.
I finished the sleeve bits last night, including binding off the provisional cast on.¬† At some point, I’ll go back and sew the seam.¬† I’ve moved on to knitting the back, restoring the side seam stitches that have been hanging about on a spare needle since starting the sleeve.¬† With that done, I am now finally back to using ONE needle 
The back IS longer than the front.¬† Every couple of ridges, there is an increase at the hem edge.¬† That is what I’m tracking with that pink yarn running in and out.
And a closer look at the striped raglan seam progressing on the back.
That’s about it, I’ve got to go finish up a custom SQL script for a customer who totally screwed their implementation last year after being warned a number of time who now want it cleaned up.¬† Sigh.
Craft on!

Look at Ballerina! Your post title made me think of the professor I had for Con Law. He’d always ask “Who are the People?” Now I know: We are the PEOPLE. The knitters are the PEOPLE. I think I’m losing my marbles.

LOVE the sweater! It’s coming along very well
And, at least people’s stupidity keeps you working, right?? That’s gotta count for something! As annoying as it is when they don’t listen, I HOPE you’re charging them DOUBLE for your time
(Ok, I am having a bad day, and being be**chy — but still, think they should be charged more for stoopidness!)

I think Kim may be mildly mentally ill. I lost my breath laughing.
Yeah, for the progress on Ballerina. Looks good. ~ksp
