We're into Day 6 of the Knitting Olympics. I've made a good bit of progress on my sweater. It seems like it is slow going as I'm knitting, but it really is growing by leaps and bounds!
My main concern right now is whether it's going to fit or not. I put it on waste yarn on Monday to try it on, and it fit fine at that point. Now that I'm past the hip decreases and started the increases I think I'm going to pause and try it on again just to be sure the waist fits. We'll see. I know it'll block a little larger in the end, so there's a bit of wiggle room if it's a tiny bit too small. (I hope!)
I absolutely love the Winter Olympics - especially the figure skating, so I've been enjoying watching the last few nights. I don't know how much longer I can keep up the past-midnight bedtimes, though!
Keep it up, all of my fellow Knitting Olympians! 12 more days to go!

I have become a die-hard curling fan.
Love your color choices.
Don't forget, I have a wooly board. I blocked my Ivy League Vest with it and it worked wonders to stretch it out just enough to make it a perfect fit. Plus it blocks the floats so sweetly. You can use it to block it when it's done if you want.
Wow - This is a work of art! Beautiful colors. Just perfect.
For trying on as you go... I have the Knit Picks Options needles and I ordered the 60" cable. (They also recently came out with cable connectors too). I use that for knitting sweaters and it allows me to try it on whenever I want.
Anyway - great work!
