Hardangervidda Progress

Believe it or not, but Hardangervidda has become my "easy" project, at least for now. I’m on the stockinette portion of the sleeve where the only thing I have to worry about is increasing 2 sts every 4 rows. The sleeve looks fairly proportionate, although I’m keeping an eye on how wide it’s getting at the top. If it gets to the right size, I’ll stop doing decreases. Here’s how far I am now:
Slowly but surely I’m getting the sweater done. I’m really resisting starting another big sweater project right now. I almost went out and bought the Baby Ull yarn for the moo cow sweater I showed you earlier. Alex already has soooo many really cute sweaters for this winter though, I think I’ll wait and make Katie something first.

First let me say that your sleeve looks great. I am currently working on a sweater from that book too (Bjerk). I noticed you are also working on that one and wondered if you notice alot of difference between the plain stockinette and the fair isle part of your work. Mine seems lumpy in the fair isle parts. Has that ever happened to you? Is that normal? Most important, is there a way to fix it? It’s my first fair isle so I expected a bit of lumpiness but I’m hoping it’s not permanent lumpiness. Any advice is apprecited. Thank you!
