I finished the 28thirty. I forced myself to step away from the double pointed needles and to learn the magic loop method for the sleeves. If I'd had any clue how much more tolerable magic loop was, I would have tried it a long time ago. Once I got going on that, I whipped out two full sleeves in about a day and a half and now I can get on with my life!!! (As soon as I block it and take a picture, that is.)
Next up, I'm doing a pattern called the "Candy Striped Raglan Sweater" but I'm actually naming mine the "Jolly Rancher Sweater." It will make perfect sense later when you see the colors I'm using. Going with Ella Rae in "Cactus" for the main color and Noro Kureyon in 256 for the stripes. This is as close to colorwork as I intend to get for a while.
I have another gift to do after that (which shall remain unspecified for the moment) then I plan to do the Owl sweater. Then I will be taking a break for a bit to focus on other things. Yeah, we'll see about that.
