Most of you'd have finished this by now. I plug away a bit at a time, taking care not to aggravate my wrist, practicing a nearly stationary hold on my left needle. Slow and mindless. I've worked the decreases for the waist shaping, changing the pattern to only two decrease rows spaced six rows apart. With a short waist, I need to increase again sooner than the pattern reads. In between the spurts of knitting, I play with color for an accessory for the cardi. It won't need one for coverage or warmth. The neck line is higher than written.
The color changes in the sweater are subtle, just enough to keep it interesting and far from being olive drab. A splash of color can change everything.

Nah – I wouldn’t be done yet either. You can’t overdo it or you won’t be able to knit for a long time if you aggravate the injury further.
It looks real pretty so far.
The turquoise with the olive just rocks! You have a magnificent eye for color. The shades of green in that cardigan are beautiful!
I LOVE that green cardi — fabulous.
I like it and the extra splash of color! What splashy colorway is that btw??
It’s very pretty!
Really nice choice–great photo!
Slow and mindless…good ways to savour a project, (and process….)
