The denim continues

I find work on this sweater goes rather slowly, but have figured out I do a few funny things.

1. I take a long time to decide, "Should I keep on with this pattern or put a new one in?
2. When I finally do decide what to do, I stop to admire my work rather often.
   
3. I wonder about gauge, and stretch things sideways a lot.
4. Then I look through every pattern book I have to find new ideas.
5. I stop and count my remaining yarn and wonder if I will have enough.
6. I wonder what I will do on the back and other front piece.
7. I hold this up to various sweaters I own to see how I am doing.
8. I debate the neckline shape.
9. I take the odd picture in bad light conditions.

With flash,


and without.

And of course, I wonder if I will get it done in the next 9 days, since it is supposed to be a NaKniSweMo project!
