So I'm still working on my top from IK. I've finished the sleeve and am going to cast on the next. Then I'll have the body to do. I know most people start with the body and then do the sleeve thing, but I used the first sleeve as my swatch to check for gauge. When I figured out that it worked I went on ahead.

I've joined the Knit One Read Too Group. I need a bit of a push to read more these days. Not that I don't read, just if it's outside of knitting I really haven't touched it.
