Soliciting opinions!

Thanks to a real cool spell over the weekend, I got some work done on my Cuff to Cuff sweater.

However, no knitting has been done since I got back from that long weekend. Truly. (For those that know me, that should tell you something about the awfulness of this real estate situation.)

Ah well, this, too, shall pass.

Here's the sleeve I completed over the weekend.

I got the steek tacked down, and started the other sleeve (I'm holding it down slightly; I'm only a couple of inches into it).

Anyway, I like the first sleeve; the hand of the fabric is quite luxurious. And warm!

If you are thinking of knitting this, just a heads up-- take the top edge of the chart with a grain of salt, especially if you change the neckline (I did this: shoulder shaping via short rows). Meg's shading gets a bit erratic just at the top edge. If you have been knitting along and paying attention, you'll probably notice. You have been warned. :)

Here's a shot of the sleeve on my arm.

I did my sleeve decreases under the sleeve, not on top-- I find that top-of-sleeve details tend to emphasize the rather broad shoulders I possess.

Here is my shoulder-into-sleeve zone. There is still a bit of a trough where the sleeve and shoulder meet, but blocking will fix that wagon.

No other knitting reportage.

However-- I do have a question for you-- I will have to store some of my knitting books (OK, I'll be honest: most of them) We are going to have to move into a rental (a small rental) for several months while the situation with the house we're trying to buy gets settled.

I am faced with the decision of-- which books are indispensable, which can I handle storing. (And not seeing for an unknown length of time.) (That's part of the Crazy Seller issue)

Here's my primary knitting book storage site:

What you might want to know is that the shelves are usually packed tight, with multiple books laid horizontally across the top (and there are usually knitting books in a whole 'nother shelf).

I have already packed two book boxes of knitting books. (That ought to scare me but it doesn't)

Anyway, I am down to the wire: which to bring (only one box) which to store (all the rest).

What would you consider indispensable, from your book collection? Soliciting all opinions!
