Whew. 5 of the 7 turning points are done.

When I was planning out doing these short rows, I did not realize that it was going to require me to be doing half the front with the lace pattern BACKWARDS on the purl side. With P2togTBL instead of SSK.

GAH! I can do this, but I'm finding it a PITA and it does require a bit of concentration. I can see why more typical knitters think they can't handle short rows. This would be a reasonably complex thing if I was doing it on a plain front, let alone this worked-in-the-round lace bulky sweater.

I can tell that the short rows are having the expected kind of effect. I have no idea if it will actually fit me well or not. We'll have to see.
