I’m REALLY tired, but had to come post this pic now or by the time I get around to posting tomorrow it will have changed. So last progress report of the day:

Again I included a copy of Interweave Knits for scale. I keep looking around for something else to use but short of a ruler which wouldn’t show up very well, I can’t think of anything else in my office that’s standard size everywhere. So for now IK is my guidepost. And if they want to give me a free subscription for the advertising…I don’t mind! 🙂

I knitted the last row after the body into a tube and continued that in 1×1 rib for 2.5″ for a turtleneck. As a final burst of effort before bed, I CO the 17 sts for the underbelly panel and did 7 of the 9 req’d rows in rib. Once that’s done I do the body rib patt for the req’d amount of inches then seam it together leaving 2 openings for the front paws to go through. So far this sweater has taken me 5 hours exactly.
