Mind you, Ms Knit is severely displeased with me.
She expected to return to piles of finished woollies
and
what did she find ?
nothing!
not a scrap!
By the time she had finished castigating me for the pathetic lack of sticks-and-string related activity, my membership in the Knitterly ranks was in serious danger of being stripped from my wilting shoulders. Oh the shame !
There was no help for it.
I had to re-establish my credentials asap.
A quick rummage in the depths of the UFO basket under the coffee table produced a vaguely familiar bit of feather-and-fan. I seem to remember starting it around New Years with the nebulous intention of it being some sort of trans-seasonal long sleeved shrug for Nadie.
When I actually got around to showing her what I'd started, she was somewhat less than enamoured with the colour [ a subdued sort of bluey, mauvy grey] and it ended up in time out.
So now it's going to be for me
The yarn is an aran weight Patons cotton blend that I originally bought - cheaply - at the local supermarket, and then added to when I found some more balls of the same dyelot going for a song at the Salvo Op Shop [ Thrift store ].
No pattern as such:
anyway for those who care about the specs
yarn - Patons Washed Haze Aran
needles - 6mm KP Harmony
No promises about how long it will take me to sew up the sleeve/side seams.
Can't rush these things.

Looks like Miss K should be well pleased with you.
I like that color. It's a nice transitional color for in between seasons.
You know the kitchenering is worth it... Even if no one else knew one sleeve was upside down, it would have driven you crazy.
