My Tempting sweater is moving along, seeming to knit itself.

I attached the sleeves to the body, but it felt all wrong somehow for the first few rounds. The stitches strained to get around the buckled-out curve of the circ, and simultaneously there was a huge gap and a long strained stitch pulling across the underarms.

I’m not sure if that will all get sorted out in the 3-needle bind-off, but at least the float is so long that I could cut it and weave the ends in, if it came down to that. Still I have to marvel at the ingenious elegance of the design. I can’t think of a better way of doing it, and for what it is, it’s spot-on.

Now I’m two inches into the yoke, and it’s feeling a lot better, easing around the needle and moving at a nice clip. Looks like I’ll have a nice little fall sweater in no time!
