This one has taken absolutely ages. Admittedly, I had other more interesting events happening in the meantime, like chatting up Strange men and finishing college for the year. And also the fact that I could not make head nor tail - or rather sleeve nor neckline - of the god-awful knitting instructions. When I finally almost worked it out, it then took more than 30 minutes to do a RS-WS round. I've watched a lot of episodes of Waiting for God on YouTube of late - in fact, after 20 of these rounds, I'm now up to Series 5 (including 2 Christmas specials!)! But I suppose, in the end, at least there is an end to it:
And, on the plus side, it does fit. Although I do resent having to knit the larger size with considerably more stitches these days. I think I finally understand why the fashion industry really uses stick women for models - not because they look tall and elegant in anything, but because they use up far less material and are therefore quicker to dress!!
So, after just over two months, I've used up most of the pink wool my Nan gave me for my birthday. I visited her this week. She gave me some peach wool... I know. Try finding something you can knit in peach...
