Spin A Yarn for Ewe

I started my sweater. I love how the yarn is working up and hope that it will be a fast project. I am making my pattern up as we go basing it on one I made and liked. I am changing everything about the pattern except the basic shape. I want short sleeves, a cropped style and ties with beads on them. I figure if the the ties have beads on the ends then they can be tied or not and still have a decorative look. It is worked top down with a v- neck and I am almost to the bottom of the v-neck. Not too much longer and I will put the sleeve stitches on scrap yarn to hold for later. This picture was before I worked on it yesterday afternoon and evening. I am trying to get it done by the 22nd so I can wear it to a party and I also work better with a deadline. I have 2 days of car knitting that will for sure help with the deadline. The yarn is very similar to the Grrlie Grrl yarn I have for sale but no beads. So you can see how yarn like that works up. I love the subtle shading that goes with a drip dyed roving.
