Making progress

Ok, so splitting the sweater (instead of steeking) and knitting up front and back separately has commenced. I'm getting the hang of things now - so, hopefully things will start picking up and moving a bit faster. I fear that I had changed the needle size in the beginning, to adjust for tension and then didn't write it down anywhere. So, rather than follow the pattern, I went a size down on the needles and things seem to look right. Homecoming is only 3 weeks away, but we have a long car trip coming up next weekend and I could probably get a bunch knitted if B drives the whole way (!).
