I added a couple more increase rounds before separating for the sleeves - I was worried it would be too tight. But if anything, it is now a little loose. Which I am fine with, as that just means I won't be uncomfortable in it:)
I've had some screwups with the lace pattern - the most recent one being I managed to drop 2 stitches 6 rows back or so. But I got them weaved in and am back on track - hopefully it won't be too noticeable when it's done. I'm going to go a couple more rounds and if it looks too bad, i'll rip back. If not, I'll keep going.
Have a great day - hope it's sunny wherever you are!

PS - Michelle - we are currently feeding Jessie's pigs Honor Show Chow - but it's rather expensive ($17 for a 50 lb. bag). If they weren't going to the State Fair and our County Fair, they would be getting a grind and mix feed from our local feed mill at $6 a bag. I'm just thankful that we can get by for now with the $17 a bag feed - last year the stuff we had to feed her 2 pigs was $40 a bag - and 1 bag lasted 6 days!!

The sweater is looking great! Love the lace!
Oh my goodness - ouch on the piggy food! I've never raised pigs, but the hubby is itching to once we get a bigger place. Hooboy...
Speaking of that, my husband said that he had a pig growing up, and that they mixed a bunch of powdered milk into it's slops and that it got super-chunky in no time. Do you guys feed them scraps and slops as well, or is that just not high-cal enough to get them where they need to be?
Thank you for letting me ask ten thousand questions, by the way! ;)
The sweater is looking great. I really like that blue.
You get a lot done because you take advantage of every minute. Smart girl.
Inspirational as usual! I love the lace in that sweater.
The sweater is going to be beautiful! I can't believe that pig food is so expensive. My goodness!
The sweater is going to be very pretty!
The sweater looks great!
That's some pretty expensive piggy food. I hope you get some good bacon when it's all said and done. Not to mentions a big blue ribbon or two.
