This is one of the two sweater fronts that I have almost completed: knitting both at the same time. I am currently working on the front bands and then they will be done. I have to say that I was very confused when I looked at the picture and the band stripes ran up and down but mine were going horizontally. Then I reread the pattern and early on it said that the fronts were knit from front to back rather than top to bottom or bottom to top. Now it is making sense and the individual pieces are making sense.
So, once I was on the bands I brought them into the house to finish and began the sleeves in the studio. And these start at the cuffs with 6" of garter stitch. I am very close to finishing the cuffs and then will begin the pattern and increasing (and having to pay attention to the pattern). The pattern is not hard but in the studio I watch TV and sometimes nod off, not good for following a pattern. But I will try hard to get it right.
And now a not a dog picture. This is Stubby sitting in my Auburn chair. She sits and/or sleeps all over the deck and yard but I liked this because it gives me a chance to show one of the gifts my daughter-in-law (Sue) and son (Scott) brought to me a couple of months ago. I had been looking for a webbed chair to have in the yard when I take the dogs out but I hadn't been able to find one. Then when they came to visit one weekend they arrived with this chair and one for DH (purple for Northwestern). It is so nice to have thoughtful children (in their 50s) and a cat that appreciates the finer things.
I am kind of resting for the next few days but hope to get busy after the first of the month. Have fun, Gari

Your sweater is looking great. I like the colors too. Your kitty is so cute sitting in YOUR chair. I guess she knows a good thing when she see it. She's very pretty.
Love the colors in your sweater. Happy stitching/knitting this week. Hopefully you've seen a warm up and don't get much of the wet stuff coming from the west.
