Only need to pick up and knit neckband (150 stitches). Since i have my second eye surgery the day after tomorrow and freaking out, i shall wait to have the surgery done before finishing. Meanwhile i may start socks or something easy to knit besides the “naturally striping” and “milk run” projects…..

Just need to sew the buttons (after eye surgery)!
Very proud of the kitchener bind off for the neck!

Love it! I wear it with my son for school trips or garden errands with his buddy classmates… perfect for long stations on bench in the wind, bike trips in the woods…. Craving to make another one (with proper gauge, as this one is a bit big….. My eternal problem being never swatching+ being convinced that I need size XXL= giant finished project every time)
