The weekend before last, I went away once again with some of my crafty friends, formerly known as my quilting friends. Some of these old friends have turned their hands to knitting since we gathered last (about 6 months ago), and some have become obsessed with sock knitting. Of course, as you can imagine, I was pretty excited by this predicament! Whilst there still was quite a lot of patchworking going on, there was also equal amounts of knitting, and I got to talk a lot about how I knit my socks! So much fun.

Wouldn’t you know it, I only took one project to knit and it was not a pair of socks…

This is the back all wrapped up before heading home (bobbins ready for travel!)

I managed to knit 2 full repeats of the design, by my calculations (of looking at other people’s finished sweaters), I’m going to need 6 repeats of the pattern. I’m a third of the way there. Now I just need to work out how to carve out 3 day weekends which don’t involve me doing too much to get this front finished, that’s do-able right.
