Levenwick--Home Stretch!

I need to start taking photos before 11pm...

I finished the cuffs on the sleeves tonight.  The pattern instructions threw me for a loop...they said to knit back and forth in rows.  I couldn't visualize how to do this on DPNs, so I posted a question in the "Techniques" forum of Ravelry and got a few helpful replies!  I was able to figure it out tonight with that help and the sleeves are done!!  I made them "bracelet length" (I think--from what I've seen on other people's finished projects): not too long because I think they will stretch out a bit with wash/wear.  I'm glad I made the full length sleeves.  I think it looks more complete with full sleeves.  Plus, I still have quite a bit of yarn left over...maybe enough to make a baby/child sized hat.

Surprisingly, the sweater bounced right back up after it was totally dry and is not as drapey as it was when I tried it on the other day.  The label for this yarn does say it can be machine washed and dried on gentle so I did throw it in the dryer on gentle for about 2 minutes just to see how it would hold up.  I'm glad it can go in the dryer because it was taking forever to dry on towels.

Anyways, I also knit the pocket tonight and have it blocked and drying.  I'm going to go to a big fabric store this weekend and look for buttons--hope I find some I like!!  I want to pick something that doesn't distract too much from the lacework on the sweater, so probably something small and red/pink.
