Fiber Arts Friday: Cozy Stripes Sweater, part 11

Whence last we left this project it was June 2025 and there was one and a half arms, buttons, and weaving in ends to go.

It's been a hot summer.... so I haven't made much progress on my Rainbow Vanilla Socks either, but I have been spinning (TdF, Long Draw).  :-)

We are finally getting more regular, cooler, weather, which means I finally picked up The Cozy Stripes Sweater on September 14th!

In the last week or so, I was able to mostly complete the large brown block on Sleeve #1.  The goal is 108 rows, but I ran out of Skein #8 at 104 rows.

So I plan to leave it as is until Sleeve #2 reaches the same place.  Then I will try the sweater on and reassess when to begin the stripes for the end of the sleeves.

I have two Brown Skeins remaining plus ~14g of Skein #7. 

I am happy to be working on this project again.
