Well the game between Argentina and Mexico contributed greatly to the progress of my sweater – 90 minutes of regular time and an extra 30 of overtime (does soccer have overtime) or whatever you call it, helped me get my first sleeve done.
Last night I managed to successfully complete the left front (for the third time!). Cables all crossing the right way, decreases decreased properly…the knitting gods are happy with me. 
I started the sleeve at 10am this morning and finished at 5:30 this afternoon. My hands are a tad sore, so I think I’ll take the night off. At least I’ll switch to crochet if nothing else – a Stashaholic can’t have idle hands – goodness knows what shopping might occur!
