First a note to my Secret Fairy: This is what my part of Ohio looks like. I live in town, but if you go very far in either direction, this is what you see....lots of flat farmland! 
I've been feeling like the Noro Cardigan (recently renamed Grey Desperation) is taking FOR. EV. ER. to finish. I'm just to the bottom edge...still have 2 sleeves to knit and a button band and collar to pick up stitches for and knit on. I felt slightly better when I remembered that in the 3 weeks I've been workin on it, I've also knit 2 pairs of fingerless gloves (1 for Jamie, 1 for Mom), the doomed socks, and 2 1/2 Jaywalkers (that's not 2 and a half..that's 2 halves). Not to mention my mom's birthday gifts which, unfortunately, I got no shots of before I gifted them. I hope to get some later...but anyhow, they were fingerless gloves like these in Noro Silk Garden #84 (they match the scarf she's knitting for herself) and a pair of Fuzzy feet in this yarn.
I do, however, have a picture of the cardigan and a question...should I use a smaller needle for that ribbing? 
I mean, I know you normally use a smaller size for ribbing, but the body is in Kureyon and the ribbing is in Big Kureyon, which has a bigger guage, so I thought using the same needle for both would make the ribbing plenty...dense. But I don't want it to pull the fabric in that much...hmm..I think I'll leave the bottom where it is and finish off the sleeves before I make any decisions.

I think using the same needles will work out in this case since you are using different yarns. uhh but I would still knit the sleeves so you can think about it :)
