I did quite a bit of knitting this weekend. Of course there were other things I should have been doing, but honestly, it was just too hot to move.
I worked almost exclusively on the Rebecca Jacket #41. This little jacket is worked sideways from sleeve cuff then the two sides are grafted at the center back. Totally cute!
Working the back, front and sleeves all at once got pretty tedious. The only thing that kept my interest was the cable. Thank god for the cable!
Needles to say, I was able to push through and finish the left side during a marathon of HBO's John Adams. I'm feeling a little stressed about having enough yarn, but my calculations say I should have at least 70 yards leftover when all is said and done. If not, I can always shorten the bottom ribbing if necessary.
Time to cast on for the right side!
