The light at the end of the tunnel...

My Maxfield has come a long way from conception. Yesterday I tied in the ends in the sleeves and the body. I also wet blocked it.

(See my toes? On the tip of the left one you can see remnants of my polish from my Morocco trip, I can't bear removing it. Such a wonderful holiday with my best English pal Lizzie.)

I just have to finish the fronts, do that front trim and it'll be done!


I also have been working on my Stockholm Cowl, as the Berroco Vintage DK is suitable for BedKnitting. Not many wool-yarns are suitable for BedKnitting, in my opinion, but the Vintage doesn't shed at all! I rolled all the skeins into balls.

Also while in bed.  See my bedding?

Then I got thinking: "If I keep knitting this, what will I take for Knit Group on Tuesday?"

And I have 5 skeins of black Vintage DK I have to use up. So, this means casting on for another project, obviously. Or at least doing a swatch. Problem was the swatch matched the first time, so I cast on.


This is the Silver Jacket from Sian Brown from Knitting Magazine. No one on Rav has completed it so I'm kinda going in blindly. The only other person with a project listed has messaged me and is further than I am, so hopefully she'll flag the hard bits for me.
