I actually finished this a week or so ago, but it was too hot to take a pic of, then I had a cold, and then had too much work on… anyway…
I’m so pleased it fits, even if I’ll have to wait a bit until the weather cools enough to wear it..
…. is all done! Had a bit of a knitting hiatus and then couldn’t stop one evening… Feel ok to leave the front of this a bit til it gets cooler again… (an excuse to start a new project eh?)
Cyd is coming along nicely – am now doing projects for me again…! this and Melinda using the Colinette Prism we bought in Wales…

So this is the first thing I’ve made that I’ve actually swatched for.. so here’s hoping!
