Sizewise mine looks okay so far, I'm doing the medium size and it looks about right.

I haven't done anything on it the past few days because I've been finishing a couple of things, battling blocked sinuses and coping with dreadful things happening at work Sad

I'm off all next week though

so I'm planning to divide my time between Still and Juliaca (from the Mirasol book #1, which I began before Christmas Embarassed

)

How are you doing with this, loisamelia?

I've finished the back, which seems to be quite long although I don't mind that. I'd rather have a long top than a shorter one!

In between casting off the back and casting on the front I've lost my scissors Confused

I haven't moved in between times but they're nowhere to be seen. Bizarre dunno

Mine has stalled cos I decided to order some different needles as I couldn't bear the ones I was using. I am on the front and have done all the decreases.
I got distracted by baby knits for a friend but when they are done I will be back on track Wink

Hey Anna, hows this going?
I am up to the neckline on the front, boy did I get confused over keeping the pattern straight when increasing at the neck Embarassed

Think I pulled it off though

I'm looking forward to seeing these as it's a lovely pattern Cool

Golly, you knit fast! I'm almost up to the "knit as for back until **" bit on the front.

I'm hoping the neck instructions become clear as I knit them. They look okay on a 1st/2nd/3rd/4th/etc reading but I'm dreading doing the "at the same time" bits!!

I needed a bit of clarification at knit group on the neckline but I got it sorted in the end
I have finished off the front now, am still a bit concerned about the size so might sew up the body tonight and see how it fits

NOOOOO!!!!!!! Shocked

I agree with pictish, I admire you for starting again. I'd probably have thrown the lot into the bin!

Mine is coming on slowly, I'm probably spending too much time here and not enough time knitting Laughing
