Quickly, a bit of swatch and progress.

Valley Yarn's English Tweed in softgrape color. When this yarn arrived, I literally unpacked it, snapped a picture and threw it on my yarn shelf because I knew I wouldn't have time for it just then. Each time I looked at it, I noticed more and more variety of colors in the tweedy flecks. Eventually, I just had to see how it would look, knitted.

English Tweed, Valley Yarn

I think it's very pretty, though the flecks are too colorful and frequent. I would have loved more uninterrupted expanses of "softgrape". The swatch is a bit rough to the touch. I hope this softens up after washing/blocking.

Two sleeves at once!

I casted on for Adam's sleeves, at last, and decided to knit them both at the same time on two circular needles. I hope this saves me some time, though it's somewhat awkward at first.

Have a great weekend!
