Trip to TargetSo all I really needed at Target was some toilet paper. Hmmmmm, when was the last time tp cost $60?? Of course, one of my splurges was a $4 shirt, and another was a $9 set of those wire cube-shelf things... you know, you snap them together and configure them how you want. Like these, only in black... ANYWAY, I set them up in a corner, and think they'll provide some handy yarn-storage, among other things. I even figured out that I can cover the whole thing with a sheet if I wanted to hide it (for some reason). Not that I ever have people over that would really care about such things, but, well.... next time the queen comes for a visit, I can cover the junk ;) Oh, and of course, I bought the obligatory shampoo/conditioner. I can't go to target without buying some... are you even allowed to leave the store without it? ;)Progress continues on the second sleeve: 
I didn't get any definitive feedback to my question about washing/sewing order, but I think I have made a decision- sew, then wash. First, it'll be easier since the stitches will be looser in their pre-shrinking state. Second, then the yarn I use to sew the seams will also shrink at the same rate as the rest of the sweater- I had visions of washing, seaming, then washing, only to have puckered seams where the connecting yarn pulled as it shrunk. I will (of course) wait to put in the zipper until AFTER the sweater has been washed. I definitely don't want to sew in the zipper BEFORE the shrinking is done. Cricket, determined to maintain her fierce facade, insisted on opening her eyes each time I tried to get a pic of her napping. Since it is IMPOSSIBLE to take a pic of a jet-black kitty without a flash, she is pleased to present "devil-eye kitty":
