There hasn't been that much knitting in the past days and weeks as I'd have liked, but somehow other things happened or were done or taken care of. (Including some mending of socks and t-shirts...)

There is, however, some progress now. I'm getting closer and closer to the point where the sleeves will be finished, and I'm very much looking forward to that - and the fact that I will then be able to continue with the body of the cardigan. Hooray!

(Yes, that is Madam the Cat's tail in the picture.)

Working both sleeves at the same time using magic loop does work nicely in reducing my personal "Aaargh!" factor. It's a little awkward at times, as the two strands of yarn tend to do things they should not be able to do (as in they wrap around one of the sleeves, or suddenly are not both on the same side of the cardi anymore), but that is a relatively minor nuisance.

And soon, it will be over, and I'll go back to nice and brainless back-and-forth for a little bit, until the increases and the pattern shifts start. Already looking forward to that!
