Another project on the go

A sweater for my son. This was started before I left for the cottage, and has actually progressed quite a bit more since I took this picture.

I've finished the one sleeve,and am about halfway done the second sleeve. It shouldn't take too long, and then I will finish the body, and add the neckband. I'm making this intentionally long - partially because my kid seems to grow exponentially, and partially since I plan on washing and drying this sweater, and the 50% cotton will shrink it up a bit. It will also tighten the stitches up a bit, which is what I planned when I started this. Right now it's VERY drapey, so the little bit of tightening will give it just the right amount of drape.
The brownish taupe colour is very nice - my son approves, and I love the pop of lime green and the pale grey. I will have enough left of each of these colours for something - not sure what. Probably just stash, as I can't really see my boy wanting a co-ordinating scarf or mittens...

Off to Regionals today! A little cheer for the Regency Acres Griffins would be appreciated...

Go Regency Acres Griffins!!!

Nice sweater, enough color to keep it from being to boring.

Is there enough left over for a hat?
Kids seem to wear hats in every season (and thus never have to have a bad hair day!)

I'm blown away...again...by how fast you can knit things! It's incredible! I just don't know how you do it.
