I did decide to try a summer sweater after I posted about it last month and yeah, a sweater on 3.5mm needles is taking forever. I can only think of my progress in terms of socks–this is at least a pair’s worth of knitting but I’m not even to the bottom of the armholes.
I picked this pattern from last month’s roundup. It doesn’t look like much at the moment but I’m hopeful. It also looks a little rough, but that’s cotton yarn for you–once it gets blocked/steamed, it’ll smooth out. But the squishy 2×1 rib is really pleasing and the yarn I picked has some nylon so it shouldn’t just bag out with wearing (a danger of cotton).
There are at least 8 more weeks of sleeveless weather left (probably more) so the race is on. Click-click, tiny needles!
