Bigger on the Outside

After ten months of slogging through 250 stitches of plain stockinette stitch on number eight needles, I finally got through eighteen and a half inches of sweater body on the Jupiter Cardigan.  Thrilled, I moved on to the next step, which was two decrease rows.  Now, with 246 stitches on the circ, I knitted on the sleeves.

There are now 384 stitches on that circular needle.  It weighs a frickin' ton.

Yes, I know that now the big decreases begin, but until they do, this thing is a monster.

The Cardigan that Ate the Western Half of Kansas.
