A very quick post (I'm meant to be in the kitchen, cooking shepherd's pie!) to show Margaret modelling her River stole. It's very blurred, her hubby can't keep still long enough for the autofocus to click in. 
It's not the best photo of Margaret, is it Yvonne? This was on the ship, 14 decks (and a claustrophobic husband who insisted on walking up the stairs).
Olympic Knitting
That's what you're here for, isn't it? My misdirection hasn't worked, has it?
Well....
I didn't do much knitting last night. I could have finished this cardigan mid week if I'd not been poorly and off knitting! I picked it up midday, finished the sleeve, started on the border.
Today's plans:Finish sleeve
Finish borders
Darn in ends (no seams, hurray!)
Sew on buttons
Lightly press
I'll be hunting down the iron tonight, but I couldn't resist a little photo. 
Fantastic ! Well done !
It looks really good. You must have clocked up some serious knitting time.

River is beautiful!
Congratulations on finishing your challenge! It is a lovely cardi (I love the shape) and you deserve the Gold! You must be so relieved... Now you can go back to your 101 wips...

You did so well to finish in spite of your illness. I love the shape of it too. Is it going to be for you? Does this mean you can start something else tomorrow?
Claustrophobia - not a good idea to go on a ship, if you are that way inclined even the cabins can seem very enclosed, but perhaps they had a balcony? Lovely to see Margaret wearing it though!

Go Dawn! Well done, it looks great and you did well to overcome the illness handicap to finish in time.

I'm really inpressed with the shawl and cardigan. I'll admit I wasn't sure about the cardi... but now it is finished it's beautiful! I often find i look at something 1/2 way thru knitting and wonder if it's right.
Well Done
