100 rounds plus 25 for the cuff to go on one sleeve, 60 rounds plus the cuff on the other. I think I'm gonna manage it with under 400g yarn, thank goodness (I have a fifth skein, but it doesn't match in colour and it would be too noticeable even if I stripe it in).
The colourway is called "Football Season" which seems very fitting since football starts next week... even if it'll still be too warm here to wear a sweater!

@consumablejoy I use Ravelry (I'm one of the early adopters, haha) to keep track of projects, queue, and stash. I like how everything is linked together there, and being able to look at other people's work and notes. And I've sold a few patterns of my own through Rav, too :)

Woohoo, it's time for the annual #FinishOrFrogAlong :)
I'm working on a fingering-weight sweater and am up to the sleeves... if I knit 20 rounds a day I should have it done before the end of the month!
The yarn is hand-dyed on a standard superwash sock yarn base, the sweater pattern is Calluna Pullover, and I'm really enjoying working on it.

A conversation about knitting jokes in comic strips reminded me of this drawing I made of Husband and me.

Best machine-knitting advice I've got:
"Move slowly, because stitches are easily startled... if you startle the stitches, they'll jump and run away."

I'm glad to have friends who tell me about semi-sekrit yarn downsizing/destashing sales. This one had $5 cones...
Now, what am I going to make with such fine silk?

Hmmm, where on a sweater is the best place to put a band of colourwork? I don't want it too high... or too low... but this looks just right.
(This is a future machine-knit project. Please imagine 2" of solid ribbing at the hems/cuffs and also a neckline; the design software doesn't include that for some reason, but it will be on the actual sweater. I'm thinking black for the cuffs/hem and pink for the neckline.)

Sometimes I just sort of stare at what I've made for a while. Like... I did this? with my hands and some sticks and string? How freaking cool is that.

The Extra Lite Bright sweater is all done, washed, and laid out to dry! And I'm already swatching for the next one, which will be the Calluna Pullover with this gorgeous yarn I got for my birthday in January.
Calluna has two different patterned stitches, and gauge is specified for both along with stockinette. I don't want to assume that just because I get gauge in stockinette, I will also get gauge in the pattern stitches - or is that actually a valid assumption?

Got 18 rounds of ribbing done on each sleeve cuff, but my hands are done holding needles for tonight. I'm SO close to being done with this sweater (and so ready to start the next one!)
