deja vu
Since I have the twins and have to knit two of everything for them, I suppose it's only right that I knit each of my sweaters multiple times. This is the fourth time I've knit the front/back of the Elizabeth sweater. You could say I know the pattern pretty well by now.

Despite the monotony of doing it all again, she's is coming along pretty well. I've started working on the darts. There are ten of them over the waist area and I got two done yesterday, so I should be able to make it to the armholes by next week. When I'm done with the back, I'll rip out the front and reknit it and then I have to work on the arms. I think I can keep about half of them and will only have to reknit the top shaping to match the new armholes. Whew! It's a bit indimidating, but I'm hoping that slow but steady progress will get me through this Sisyphusian project. If it doesn't fit this time, though....
