Moving Really Fast!

I am making a lot of progress on the sweater - it's that good. As you can see, I've got the placket steeks in place. Now I've got to come to a pause here and think about how I'm going to handle the neck area. I've been going through Meg Swansen's patterns for ideas on how to do this. Other references for similar designs assume that you're knitting flat and binding off stitches to form the curved neckline, so these references are not as much of a guide.

Armhole length is 6 1/2", and the placket length is 4 1/2". I'm aiming for a 10" armhole length (I like to have a bit of room under my arms), so that leaves 3 1/2 more inches to knit. The only real question is how many stitches on either side of the placket steeks to put on hold. I'll have to think about this. As for the sleeves, I'm coming to a consensus of "knit the sleeves in the round, then back and forth for the set-in area".

Oh, and guess what? I've got 2 in-person job interviews with different company tomorrow and Friday! Wish me luck . . . it'd be really nice to be sure that I've got spending money for MDSWF.
