and then the unexpected happened
Who would have thought it? I have made actual progress. I have half a front and I am about to start those tricky double decreases for the raglan shaping.
I do have some concerns about gauge. I reknit the ribbing thinking those loose thoughts and it still seems rather small. However, I seem to have gauge on the lace pattern when stretched out just enough to actually show the stitches off properly. So for now I am knitting and praying.
