V-neck Update ***edited

Here's my Knitting Pure & Simple 3/4 sleeve. I'm excited about how basic this sweater is. I can see myself knitting another after I catch up with some of the projects in my stash. I'm having a hard time not casting on for 72 other things right now.

I finally made to the point where I'm working this in the round. I'll make much faster progress now that I'm not counting for the increases and neck shaping. Decreases every 10 rows are easier to remember. The weather has cooled off quickly this fall. Maybe I'll have a chance to wear this before December. If I can knit regularly this week I could finish the body before the weekend. Then on to the sleeves. And after that, I've got to get back to my Morestripes. I left that behind when I got to shaping. I want to wear it though....so I guess I must think and knit.

And today...we should be at MOPS. But, 3 kids with fevers. I guess it's a good thing that we finished those Minkies. They're off watching PBS and I'm checking blogs. Probably not much 'school' either today. I'm sure we'll do lots of reading and hot tea.

***I got this yarn and pattern in May. It's 80% acrylic and 20% wool. I sure hope that the neck doesn't roll in like it does in the photo...or I'll have to beat it into submission.
