It's such a strange shape. The sleeves themselves make up much of the back, but that won't be seen until I've finished the band and have attached it to the top and bottom of this piece. I'm about halfway done the first section of the back, and once it's attached to the sweater I'll take a picture and show you.

I'm really enjoying this subtler Kureyon colourway. I read that Eisako Noro takes his inspirations from nature, such as Fire, Sky, Earth, and Rock. Looking at these colours, with the grays, browns, and blacks, along with the odd bit of green and burgundy, I'm thinking this colour was taken from Earth. Of course, I could be wrong, but that's what I see when I look at it.

Hopefully tonight, I'll finish the first section of the band and have it attached to the bottom of the back. Then you can see just how cleverly this sweater is constructed! It's deceptively simple, and something a sweater-phobic knitter can whip up in no time. There's no seaming at all--perfect for me, as I hate finishing work!
