Work in Progress Wednesday

Again, it feels like a week with not a lot to show for it.  I spent all weekend finishing the swatches for Level Three.  It doesn't look like much but it took me about five days to figure out how to do the double knitting with closed sides.  I can be a slow learner.  It is the square white one on the bottom right.  The other side is all blue.  Yes, it is like a small pot holder.
One that I am proud of is the intarsia swatch.  I have struggled to come up with the right pattern that wasn't too difficult.  Straight vertical lines can be tough and you don't want a pattern that tempts you to strand.  This is my own design, just playing on the computer with colored squares to come up with this.
My second Aran sleeve is slowly moving along.  Hopefully it will be finished this week and then on to the body.

Head over to Tami's to see lots of great projects.
