Mock at will

So just imagine two sleeves of the tennis sweater. They look about the same as the last time I posted a picture of them, except now there are two of them.

And then there is yarn. Lots of yarn.

Pictures sponsored by the first sunshine that has occured while I am not at work, hooray!

The blue and brown yarn in the front is Jaeger Matchmaker Aran from Elann for an Essential Stripe, and the purple, also matchmaker aran, is for a scarf for a friend that I will knit someday. The varigated blue stuff is Schoeller Stahl Mouline for a slightly modified version of their laceup pullover.

Which is all stuff I'm going to get to after I finish this.


Yeah. I know. I know. There's a reason I didn't post I was making this sooner, and that reason is sitting in my yarn box, sad and needing to be ripped. Last Spring I started making the original Tempting out of some highland wool- which was not my smartest move, but I was at that point where I just needed something to knit. And I knit up the body (aka a giant wool tube top,) and then threw it into a box because it was summer, wool is hot, and I knew I probably wasn't going to wear the highland wool next to my skin. And then the next thing I know, I have some Merino Stretch lying around begging to be knit up, and there's a new version of the pattern (which I think is cuter than the first) and the next thing I know I'm doing some math, casting on and knitting away. And now I have two tempting bodies, and no tempting sleeves. Unless I used my tennis sweater sleeves for it... I guess it's back to sleeve island for me! And math island too, to figure out the decreases for the sleeves. Hooray.
