Well things are progressing ...
... and I'm half way up the front now too.
I've shortened it quite a bit - by a good 14cm - as I want it to rest on my waist, not my hips. I'm figuring on wearing a vest/T-shirt underneath which will come down longer, if you know what I mean. Am loving the Rowan Milk Cotton too - very nice to work with and very soft and stretchy.
Now. On Saturday, our sewing group is going to Woolfest, in Cockermouth (only an hour away). (Yes, I know it's a sewing group, but many of us are knitters too).

I mean, surely everyone is going to be heading straight for this stall and this very book? Surely it would be better to buy it now, then I can decide which pattern I could start first and then purchase the wool on Saturday? Eh? :-) Let's just say I am going prepared with a big empty bag.
Meanwhile, I have not been idle, oh no, no, no. I just had to launch another shirt into the world, for the boy. Knit. Shirt. Knit. Shirt. Knit ...
