My socks are coming along:

They’re my easier project atm, so I have something I can take with me and knit on the go. First time I’ve added a ribbing section for the arch of my foot.

I’ve made a little more progress on my sweater, hoping to have the sleeves finished by next weekend (not the one in 2 days).

They’re looking good! I made those socks once and vowed Never Again. I like knitting socks, but that pattern just killed me for some reason. Looks like you’re doing great, though!

I have a partially finished cardigan sitting in time out that is the same pattern, so I’m used to it. I do wish it did more for the yarn though. I kind of wish I’d gone with something involving a slip stitch or something to pull the stripe colors into each other (if that makes sense). This pattern, to me, has no purpose. But I’m a slow knitter, so no way I’m frogging these when they’ll be wearable as they are.
