the great divide

 Continuing on with my "trade off projects each night to try to get some progress made," tonight I finished the last two body rounds, and then divided to knit flat on the "British School Slipover"

 This is actually upside down; the ribbing would be at the bottom. The front is on a big stitch holder, then two smaller ones (purple) hold the underarm stitches. The back stitches are live, on the needle, and it's time to start doing the decreases to shape where the arm ribbing will go. 

The yarn for this is a Lion Brand recycled polyester. I think it's called Re-Spun, the color "Sunshine" doesn't seem to be available any more (I bought this, I think, two or maybe more years ago, at JoAnn's - I guess I am slowly working through some of the stash). 

So I do the back, then the front, then the bands at the arm holes and there's a v-neck neckband. 

I'm pretty happy with it so far, even for a synthetic, even for a fairly inexpensive yarn. And now it feels a lot closer to done, since I'm not doing the big rounds any more.
