No photos tonight sorry but I have made progress! Last night I made my first ever button holes and then shaped the armholes for the fronts. I did a very basic, cast off two stitches and then cast them back on again button hole and it worked fine. The stitches around the holes were a bit loose but it looked much better after a bit redistribution of the slack with a crochet hook. As for the armholes I did one side as per the back by casting off the first four stitches of a row but for the second side I used the method for casting off without yarn shown in “Knitting in Plain English” so that I could cast off on the same row as the first side and not have to break the yarn. Now that I think about it the back must have had the stitches cast off across two rows so this was probably unnecessary, well it was fun anyway.

Photos tomorrow, hopefully of completed fronts.

In other news Jesse and I checked out a new yarn store today. We made a special visit as they had 30% off all their yarns as they are moving up the street. Just a pity their prices were 30% odd higher than my LYS before the sale so there were no bargains to be had. Their collection was also not nearly as interesting as the LYS. Won’t be going there again.
