Cropped and cute

In knitting land, things are going well...

As you can see, the body of the cardigan is done. The bottom ribbing is an inch shorter than the pattern calls for. that's for two reasons:
1) I have a short waist
2) 1-1 ribbing is probably one of the most tedious stitch patterns. If I had to do a whole inch more of it, someone was going to end up stabbed with a knitting needle.

All that's left now is the sleeves and the front bands. I was tempted to knit the bands first to get them out of the way, but knitting with the handspun is just too much fun

So I've  split the remaining yarn into two balls, roughly equal in size. I'll knit until theyrun out, and add an inch of ribbing at the end.

But as much as I want to finish this cardigan up, I really do need to get back to those fox socks.
