So, my top down sweater. I know I've mentioned it several times already but it's the only excitement in my life right now. It's progressed to a few inches below the armpits and with no shaping my mind starts to ramble. I wonder how many stitches I need to do from armpit to cast off, I thought. So a bit of brain exercise

and I came up with 27,000 stitches. Gasp

. A few more rows of boring straight. I wonder how many stitches I will have done when I finish the whole darn thing, I thought. A bit more exercise of the brain

....

.....90,000 stitches

. Why do I knit? I don't even like it

. Why did I use such fine yarn and such fine needles? Well, I certainly don't know

.
Next I think I'll work out how many stitches I will have done to finish my Shetland Hap. At least with that I had the sense to use super chunky yarn and monster needles
