Here is the back of the sweater blocking.  I feel like I had to stretch it like crazy to get it to 23" and it was suposed to be 24.5".  It also seemed to be stretcher up than out.  I think with this information I will be making the bigger size for the front, especially when my husband likes things on the baggy side.  The sleeves seem to be going well.  I almost have the 2.5" of ribbing done.  It went much smoother and faster than the ribbing on the bottom of the sweater. I may actually catch up.

I tried to make a new scoop on the ice cream pillow but I realized I'm out of the dark, chocolate color.  I decided to do the other pink scoop and half way through the final row I ran out.  So I'm going back to the sleeves.  If I can't get more yarn then I will sew my son's pillow together.  I want to make so many more things.  I need more arms to make them all at once.  There is a designer who is getting married and in honor of that she gave away her patterns for free, about $200 worth.  She has socks, sweaters, and cowls and I want to make ,most of them.  I need not to start any more projects.

It was fun to listen to a bunch of podcasts yesterday.  It really feels like sitting with friends.  There were some Knitting Pipeline recaps.  I'm really going to try to make it to that next year.  Skein After Skein asked what are our top five yarns.  It's a fun question to think about.  I listed what what yarns I had the most fun knitting with since there are many different ways you can define "favorite" (work horse, softest etc.) Here is my list, they are Ravelry links so if you don't have an account they might not work.
1) Araucania Huasco
2) Wishfox lace
3) The Painted Tiger Panda
4) Yarn I have spun myself
5) Berroco Comfort

That's it for today.
