I searched my stash of Rowan Felted Tweed….I had abandoned a project last year so I was pretty sure
I had the shades…but did I have enough! Yes, so I cast on immediately!

Wimbledon knitting….got a lot of knitting done in the last few days!

Short row heaven or hell…depends on whether you like short rows or not!

July 14 - the back is done - I’ve left it on a needle as I’m not totally sure about the back neck - to add a bit of shaping or not….so I’ll leave that until the front is done so that I can “try it on” so to speak!

July 18 - small pattern clarification….

the Mary pattern includes in * to ** Rows 1 to 176. After you finish that section, it asks you to knit st st for 6 rows and repeat * to** . These 6 rows are actually how you finish the top of the sweater. If you look at * to, it starts with 5 rows of st st in Colour A. So move the ** to after row 176.

Oct…i decided to stripe the sleeves….. I needed a kick to get this finished…lots of ends to sew in, but well worth the effort!

My friend and I decided to try to replicate the photo in the magazine…it seemed like such a strange pose…..great hilarity ensued!
