Dull Knits

I finished Gran's scarf in time for her party but I have a full skein of the yarn left over (minus one inch! isn't that always the way) so now I'm using it to start a new sweater, a v-neck pullover from McCalls (1961), knitted in two pieces. It should be nice but I really need to learn to like things that are knitted on something a bit larger than 2 or 3mm needles. I think one little piece of 'instant' gratification would be a nice bit of encouragement for me. I do love the look of fine gauge though, might as well get used to it.
