i am a mere 8" from finishing the second sleeve on lily's birthday sweater (pattern: tiny dancer - rav link).
to say my motivation is waning would be putting it mildly. i keep finding excuses to work on other, more quickly finishable, projects. i honestly do have a cousin getting married in april, and he and his new wife really will need a stack of dishcloths to start their new life together!
clockwise from the top we've got: tie the knot (rav link), a harmonic mosaic (rav link) and a waffle cloth (rav link).
i *will* finish lil's sweater though... i just need to power through those last few inches. but let me tell you, i'm already looking at sleeveless tunic patterns for next year!

I have to say it (deepest apologies, sometimes I can be 12)...if this weren't a knitting blog that title would have had me raise an eyebrow.
Ahem. While I don't revel in your pain, it's good to know super productive knitters sometimes lose momentum on projects. I am drawn to short-sleeved sweaters and while I think most of that is just from the fashion side, this picture makes me wonder if it's more cuz I hate that final sleeve slog. Where every inch seems to take forever. Something to think on. In the meantime, I know you can push through...Lily is going to look so cute in her striped sweater!

It looks really great!! You're sooo close. Sleeveless sounds pretty tempting though, I'm sure. Also, what pretty dishcloths!

Oh that's such a pretty sweater. Lily will love it! Ros
