Progress as Promised
Hullo!
I've finally figured out how to work the camera's USB connection (don't worry Teresa; it's not you, it's me) and present Audrey-in-progress. If the swatches surface from the depths of my knitting basket, I can give a little swatch parade at a later time. But for now, here is my progress: completed front and back, plus sleeves started. The sleeves, knitted at the same time, are now about 9 inches long, thanks to a solid afternoon of stitching and half a season of Six Feet Under "On Demand." I plan to make them three-quarter length, so I'm not too far away from finishing.
I'm using Calmer in the color Peacock, which is a really smoky teal. I got gauge on US 8 and 9, using the Denise needles. (Please ignore the lifelines.)
I couldn't wrap my mind around the Rowan dart without a good picture (hard to see through that Vespa!), and am eternally grateful to Tiffany for her alternate solution. Here's a closeup:
(the color is truer to life in the full-size shot.) My goal now is to finish Audrey before the DC summer hits in full force. Here's hoping Mother Nature is on my side... happy knitting!
