The reason Sylvi progress has slowed lately

One lone pin remaining in the cushion, an empty box of fancy double-ended pins from KnitPicks.

Sleeves on the blocking board.


Twenty small petals (6 pins each) and a pair of pockets on the board.

It didn't take more than an hour all told, but I'm just not a person in general who enjoys blocking a sweater. I know that, in the end, it will all be worth it, because the finished object (FO) will be most beautimous, but damn, it's a lot of work to get here. And my back hurts.

I'll stop whining now, at least until those sleeves are dry and it's time to start sewing the thing up.

By the way, if you click on the pictures to make them big, they're pretty blurry. Clearly not my best efforts. Fair warning and all.
