that's what I feel like. Everything I'm knitting on feels and looks like it did a week ago. (except the Trekking sock - that has grown.) The Kauni has one sleeve, done and hemmed:and the other is just started. That's the one problem with top down raglan sweaters - sleeves are a pain. There's a lot of wool in your lap, and you have to keep moving it as you go around and around on the sleeve. But it is worth it - I can see the end of this sweater, which means the beginning of wearing it. Once the sleeves are done, it's just a matter of cutting the steek, picking up the front bands, and deciding on a collar treatment. Hmmm, maybe the end isn't so near...
(And no, there isn't a perspective issue with the sleeve hem - I wanted a wide sleeve on this sweater, not one drawn in by ribbing, or reduced down along the length. I may regret it later, but for the moment, I like the wider sleever hem).
I've also been working on some Christmas gifts (yes, Stephanie, I know its only October, but I have a HUGE list...). There are some socks for the men, some scarves for the women, and plans for some mitts and hats. And jewellery - there's plans for lots of that as well. Now I just have to look at who's on the list, what's done already, match that stuff up and decide what's left to do.

The sleeve looks just lovely. Can't wait to see the finished article. (this is the part of a project where I wish all I had to do was wiggle my nose)
I like hte wide-sleeved look myself. As for Xmas knitting, i started it this weekend with a clog for a colleague's mother....
