Almost there...
Two Demi sleeves, blocked and ready for action! All that's left is to knit up that little shoulder-flap-thingee that has the button holes in it (I'm sure it has a name, but it eludes me at the moment). Then we're on to Finishingland!
Hello. It's dark in here.
Something about the shapes and colors in this photo remind me of this fossil fuels stamp. Maybe I should try cabled trilobites next time?

It's rally time! Get it done. I would just call them button bands! =)

Such amounts of pretty detail. I love that pattern more and more everytime I see it.

Epaulets I think they are called. I can't wait to see this finished. It's going to be spectacular...I liked the link to the stamps too. Fun!

Lovely, perfect, cables.
Cabled trilobites...I would wear that!
(BTW, very nice trekking socks)

Those sleeves are really stunning! I never really noticed the Demi pattern before, but now I'm intrigued.
Posted by: Kristen | May 30, 2007 12:41 PM
I have those same stamps! I haven't looked at them in years, and now I'm wondering what on earth a "breeder reactor" is.
The sleeves are lovely -- must resist urge to add Demi to queue...

Gorgeous color, and I know what you mean about the cables reminding you of a scientific element. Several issues back there was a scarf in Interweave Knits in which the cable pattern replicated a DNA strand. Good to know you're not alone. BTW, I'm new to your blog, and really enjoy it. My own is quite new. Come on over and check it out when you have a chance: www.floribundajulie.blogspot.com

Posted by: Sarah | May 30, 2007 8:31 PM
I can't wait to see the finished product. Even just the sleeves are a work of art!
Posted by: Amy | May 30, 2007 11:36 PM

The stitches look so beautiful and just pop with the lovely yarn you've chosen.
Posted by: tiennie | May 31, 2007 1:34 PM
Hee! Can't wait to see it finished! Those are some handsome sleeves, and I have yet to see a Demi that inspired me - and you always manage to tip the scales :)
Posted by: Philippa | May 31, 2007 4:10 PM
I am so excited to see this finished. I love Demi and cannot wait to knit it.
