Penguono Sweater Progress

 Heddle threading has been slow. In fact it came to a stop last weekend with a trip to the emergency room with what turned out to be a blood clot in the leg Dan had surgery on. So, we've had various tests and doctor visits this past week, which has given me more knitting time. 

Of the sweater, I've got the right shoulder and front done now, and am working on the left front. 

In looking at the above photo, I'm not too sure about the dark brown section on the edge of the right front. I may choose to re-knit it in a different color. Even though my color changes are spontaneous, it still has to look "right" to me. 

I'm not on a time schedule, so my pace is relaxed. Hopefully, I'll get back to heddle threading next week so I can move on to the next step in that project.

Oh no! I hope Dan is doing better.

I really like these colours. It reminds me of a serape.

TB, thanks. He's doing better but disappointed at the setback. He wants to be further along in his recovery, but it's very much still one day at a time.

I really like the colors of the sweater too. I might even consider keeping it!

All the best to Dan. The sweater has an African vibe.

Meg, thanks! Yes, it does, doesn't it? Orange isn't my color but I'm really liking working with it. :)
