Sweater progress

[aeme]

I'm making progress on the Simple Knitted Bodice sweater. Got to the point where I could take the sleeves off the needles and join the fronts together. I tried it on and it fits--yay--which is good because I'm using a lighter weight silk/wool yarn and smaller needles than the pattern calls for, requiring some recalculation and guesstimation on the size to knit.





Up next, I'm ready to start on the chevron lace waistband. I need smaller needles than I have, though, so hopefully they will arrive in the mail asap so I can "carry on!"
