I put that cuff to cuff cotton piece aside to ponder a solution to my 'frontline dilema'. I am now working a pair of fingerless mitts that I set aside a while ago. They are the same pattern as the green ones that I did a while ago but they are a royal blue. Very pretty if I do say so myself. I will snap them when they are finished to share them with you all.

I've hit a snag
and I need to decide how to go forward with this piece. Having finished the back of the neckline I can not figure out how to knit both to the center of the piece as well as towards the armhole from the same line in front of the piece. I may just make the closure in front off center and leave it at that but that is not how I envisioned this piece going forward. The other option is to graft the middle front onto the sweater which will, according to past experience, leave a trace line down the front of the cardi.
It is sitting on hold for now, decisions, decisions to make.

As you can see my needles arrived n I love em (Harmony Zephers from Knitpicks). They are soooo smooth n pretty.
Anyhoo, this is my cuff to cuff knit cardi. The first cuff is nearest to the camera. I am now on the first half of the body. The sleeve, cast on first, was 70 stitches, then cast on further for the body on either side of the sleeve. So far so good, I finally feel that I can work on this without frustration. I hated working from three needles n packing the stitches down so that they would fit.
The yarn, another e-bay find. It's a 3# + cone of cotton. I'll be doing a lot of projects with this stuff before I run out.
