oh, thermal.

No new pictures. The thing about thermal is, while I really am loving knitting on it, it is pretty slow going...I feel like I knit and I knit and I don't really see progress happening. This is probably because I knit one of the sleeves first, and honestly it went by faster than I was expecting it to.

So I'm bribing myself: First off, I will knit to the buttonhole placket. Once I get to the buttonhole placket, I will reward myself in two ways: I will allow myself to use the leftover lopi from my yoke sweater to knit a chullo (at Hampshire College the other day I saw a girl wearing a really neat one, and I spent dinner reverse engineering it - my plan is to knit it in the spare lopi, then knit it again in a super soft solid color at a tighter gauge to use as a lining, so it would have the organic look of the lopi and also be soft, and also be double warm.)

Secondly, once I hit the placket, I will knit the second sleeve.
This is part reward but also sort of Becca-Sensible - once I finish the body I'll probably be exhausted and will just want to be able to sew in the sleeves and finish, so by completing the sleeve before then I'll prevent that. Muhuwahaha.

So that's what's going on. Not the most interesting of posts, I know, but it's all I have to offer.
