Sweater update

I got the sleeves and the neck edging on the tied-up tee done last night. No seams; didnt' have the attention span for that. But it's very very close to being done.

Changed my mind on the shades of red tunic. I was sifting through the patterns I've downloaded over the years, and found one which was worked as rectangles, from point to pint, in garter stitch. The swatches looked good, so I dove in last night. I want to try to keep all four pieces (two fronts, two back) close to the same, so I started all the pieces at once. Kinda boring, doing the same stripe four times, but it does give me time to plan ahead. Fabric looks nice so far, a bit thick, but I think it will drape nice when there's more there.

You are the Sumerians. The most under-rated of all
ancient civilizations, the Sumerians were a
highly organized and practical people who can
be credited with many "firsts" in
history, as well as many contributions to
civilization as we know it today. Their list of
historical contributions and inventions include
writing, literature, laws, organized religion
and government, city-states, agriculture, and
animal husbandry and domestication. As a
Sumerian, you are proud, adaptive, practical,
pragmatic, organized, intelligent, and
flexible. Your problem solving skills and
ability to think & act quickly & effectively in
the midst of a crisis cause most of your
friends to call you by the nickname MacGuyver.
You proudly boast that you can make a battery
out of a copper cylinder, a piece of iron and
some vinegar. (And you have also been known to
make a bomb out of a twinkie, a tampon & a
matchbook cover in a pinch.) You are more
focused on the "here & now" than you
are in the quest for immortality in the
Afterlife. You believe in reaping your rewards
and enjoining them now, later may never come.
While you are fierecly loyal & devoted to
family, friends and lovers, you're mischievous
and curious nature can often lead you astray.
However you are a quick learner, and you take
the lessons from your mistakes to heart and
rarely repeat them again.
