I've finished the body and had a try on. Obviously it doesn't cover my tummy, but other than that it fits fine I think Confused

Will be fine once its blocked! I'll post pictures later this morning before I start the sleeves Very Happy

How are you going with yours you two????

I'm just about getting near to the end of the yoke bit.... had to tink a few rows as I'd forgotten a buttonhole Rolling Eyes

and getting to the end of my first 100g ball of yarn. I reckon I will be dividing for the body and sleeves on this row or the next 19th row as it's nearly there for length I think. I need to try it on just to check though!

So far it's been a very well written pattern, although I couldn't understand a word of it before I actually got going with it! Easy to knit and it looks good too! A lot quicker than the FLS as well Wink

When did you cast on Terri?? That's super speedy knitting y'know - I wish I was half as fast Sad

I have so many ideas and they fall at the first hurdle cos I'm so s-l-o-w....

BUT! I've discovered that I really like knitting with Addi circs cos the ends of the long straight needles don't get stuck in your pockets when you're sitting cross legged on the sofa knitting! I might have to change over to Addi circs I think --- I even prefer the metal tips to the bamboo ones cos the join is 'slicker'
