progress on Shelagh

Somewhere over the last couple of weeks I started knitting again, and knitting regularly.

Therefore there has been progress.  The vest I started in early September went on the blocking board the other day, or at least two pieces of it did.  If you think you notice that the left front is longer than the back you are correct.  I had to check it twice just to be sure it was not my error.

I am now somewhat over half way done with the right front.  The right front is knit double length, from shoulder down to the hem and back up to the shoulder again, it is worn folded at the hem and doubled, as shown in this photo.

I am still not completely certain I will like the sweater.  I stopped it once, put it aside and started a fall sweater, but then I came back to it.  Now that I am this far along I will finish it.  I am enjoying knitting it, and it is so light I can easily fold it up into a tiny bag and take it with me anywhere.

It is very likely that it won't be worn until next spring, but then it is always nice to have something new in the closet just waiting to be pulled out on the first spring-like day.

You choose the most interesting designs. I'm anxious to see this one finished. Pretty yarn too.

Wow, that's a really unusual topper. I like how it works with unusual necklines and the cowl it covers in the picture. It's always useful to find patterns that adapt to different styles.
