olympic progress–still in the running

front shot of top 1 sleeve to go and 1 front and lower back piece

really batting on here –needles are nearly on fire .lost progress today due to very bad migraine head and had no option but to close my eyes put my head on a hot water bottle and try to sleep —all that knitting time gone never mind

really enjoying doing this and following someone elses design ideas thanks Norah it is great fun .heres the back

progress on the back

 

this yarn has been a total joy to work and the knitting just flows thank you Manos del Uruguay this is great .The rain outside makes me think it is October and I yearn for sunshine for more than just 1 day .

Right ok cast on as the flame was lit –just late in logging on to blog about it .No surprise I am using the manos merino and silk and I am doing a geometric based top.

Olympic knitting sleeve edge

Started with the sleeve and after a few hours today  I have made good progress and 6inches in length to go .

Sewed my trim on the cuff asI went along just to make sure I liked it this is the twisted silk ribbon from Loop .
