I have been working more on the "boring sweater" which is becoming less and less boring. I did some half-assed seaming and blocking last night to see how it would fit before I started working on the sleeves. See, that piece fit quite nicely into the back of the sweater:
And the mysterious front unveiled:
Unfortunately, my brain was a bit fried when I calculated the armhole, and I ended up making it too big. I'm going to have to unseam and rip back an inch on the back and front.
I am really loving the blog contest entries. Just a reminder that anybody can win the random prize, even if you're not up for writing something witty. You can always fall back on Gizoogle to enhance your knitting posts. I should also come out and say that I don't have an ounce of wit in me, and that is why this spectacle of wit awes me so. I am touched. If I were to write an entry for my own contest, I would probably be a big old dork and write one up in the format of a math proof. I would wish that I had the mad skillz to write rap lyrics in the vein of Chemical Calisthenics, but alas I don't.
ooh! that was my guess for where that panel would end up. that or a hoodie-type front pocket. looks so cool!

I don't think I have it in me to enter your contest, but I love the posted entries I've been reading.
