The Never-ending Sleeve

I got some knitting done this past weekend. Not much but enough. I am still knitting the second sleeve. Everytime I think there's only a couple more rows to knit, I then measure and nope not 18 inches yet. I should be able to finish up the second sleeve tonight and cast-on for the body. I am hoping to get the 3 inches of ribbing and the 15/2 inches of straight knitting completed by Saturday when it's time for the final class of the Sven Sveater. I did get the Red-Cabled Sweater finished. I'll move that to my new listed of Finished objects later on. I buried the remaining yarn tails. Sewed the button on. DD and myself made a trip to Hobby Lobby to get some thread for the button. I also did a crochet loop for around the button. Last but not least, the sweater went for a bath in some wool wash that I got from Fiddlehead Yarns. I tried to get as much of the water out that I possibly could in the sink. I was amazed at how much water the wool held. Once I got the water out, I put a towel on the floor and rolled the sweater up in it and put my knees on it to get more out. One of my co-workers said that I should have done that one more time. Once that was done, I got one more towel out laid it out on the floor in the corner of the livingroom and laid the sweater out for blocking. The cable looks absolutely gorgeous and you can see more of the shape of the sweater. I'll try to remember to take a picture of it before I take it off the floor. DH was a bit upset about where I chose to leave the sweater but I told him that it would be removed by the time he gets home from work (I hope). My box of loot from Sheri at the Loopy Ewe arrived on Friday. I was very happy with all of the yarns and the color choices I had made. She's supposed to be putting more yarn up within the next day or two. I have a $25 credit to use and the next order makes me a Loopy Groupie! I can't wait to see what yummy yarns she'll put up next. I'll post a picture of the loot a bit later too.
