What do you think, so far?
Because I knitted Adam's sweater during my day's commute, I worked some more of Malt last night. I began the decreases to shape the back waistline. But, 8 rows later, I didn't like how the "columns" were no longer lining up (because the stitches shift after you decrease, of course). I took a closer look at the photos in the magazine and saw that the columns were, indeed, aligned, so I unraveled back down to the point where I started. Hopefully, it's just an easy matter of reversing the pattern rows for this decrease section and then reverting back after the next decrease...
I feel much better now that I've started the jacket, and really don't have a driving urge to finish it immediately. The weather has been too warm lately for me to think of a wooly jacket... I might continue to do a few rows here and there, now and then; but, it's definitely on the back-burner until I finish Adam's sweater.
However, I may soon cast-on for the second of three cat sweaters for my friend Deb. They are very quick projects. Blush really only took a couple of days to knit up. Now that I know what I'm doing, the other two should be quicker, right?
