Foxtail progess

This is my newest project. It is the Foxtail sweater from the Tapestry book by Rowan. I am using the Tapestry yarn in color 177.

So far I have completed the top sleeve section. Once I unroll the edges, the fit seems to be pretty good.

Here is a close up of the stitches. The yarn is a little splitty and has thin areas followed by very fluffy sections, but overall I like the feel and the stripes it produces. It took 4 balls to complete the this top section and so far none of the balls have had any knots, which is my pet peeve.

A friend of mine is expecting a baby early this month, so I should really set this project aside and get back to the little sweater vest I started knitting.

I went out and finally got my hair cut today, you can't really see it very well in the above picture, but I think it will be a good "do" for me.

More later!
