Progress Report on special project



I have not been able to blog as I have been immersed in my special project for my very special H. Last night I started on sleeve one using dpn (double pointed needles). Very exciting as I have never knitted like this before so 2 new things so far in this project: knitting in the round and dpns.

I have the body on hold while I do the sleeves, RoseRed is trying to help me understand the wonderful world of patterns. Still a bit foreign for me to understand or it could be that I have had 14 hours sleep in 3 nights. Poor R has had a cold and so sleep has alluded her and me. Fingers crossed tonight will show a marked improvement!

Excellent progress! Watch out for "ladders" in the sleeve - where each dpn joins the next one (I always get ladders!!).

Wow sound like you nearly finish it. Tremendous effort in such a short time!

I always admire people who can do a jumper in a few weeks. It'll take me years!
