We're getting close to the home stretch for this project.... As of the last post, only 2 arms, sewing on buttons, weaving in ends, and repairing two dropped stitches is ALL that remains. Ha. :-)
At the beginning of this section, I have 3 full brown skeins available for the arms and 14g of Skein #7 that I will reserve for button sewing.
AND.... we've reached the warm part of the year. Progress on this project has slowed way down.
Since it will be 100F today, I think the responsible thing to do is to recognize that very little work will be completed on this project over the next few months. Which means it is essentially in Time Out and I will be focusing on much smaller projects such as socks for the near term.
As of this writing, I am about half-complete with the first arm.
