My weekly update. I've finsihed the second sleeve
I've also joined it to the body and worked a few rows of the complete piece.
Bad news- it seems a few inches narrower than it should be, though I'm hoping a steaming will loosen things up a bit. Wish I'd taken an un-steamed tension measurement!
Bad news - it also seems that I have increased in girth somewhat in the past few months, all of those cakes, chocolates and biscuits at work!
This means that I have a smaller jumper than intended. I need to shrink! The good news is that we are now trying not to keep sweets and snacks at work (so easy, if I'm running late for lunch, to keep the hunger at bay by having cake!)
This has not deterred me from finishing the jumper, though. If it's a bit like a sausage skin I shall take photos of it unworn and aim to get modelled shots when it fits!!
This was my Saturday knitting over the weekend,. I found with a cold that I wanted big needles and easy knitting. Could not face a 2mm needle and so mittens were put off until Sunday.
Too funny Dawn! my guess is there's quite a few of us in the sausage skin category at the moment - darn that chocolate - the sweater looks fabulous!

It is totally gorgeous! Good Luck with the shrinking efforts - at least you have somethig to greet you at the end of it!
