November has been mostly a knitting month. However two projects-in-progress are Christmas presents and can't be blogged just yet. J's is duck egg merino dk, H's Terracotta 100% wool Chunky.
The Finchdale jumper continues slowly - queued behind other promises. The short rows at yoke height worked. Tonight I cast off (bound off) the neckline, and sewed up the shoulders. Without attaching the sleeves yet, it seems better than I've done before. Since there's plenty of yarn left, I can follow the plan of 2" ribbing at the bottom of the bodice, and however much ribbing the sleeves need to fit well (I'm expecting 1.5" to match the neckline ribbing will work)
The newborn hats have been washed and delivered.
A few things finished (and blogged)
To match the barber's pole red yellow dk hat, a pair of mittens. For donation.
Green/olive stripe yarn for toddler wristwarmers. For donation.
Earwarmers for DD.
Repairs - a couple of popped seams, replaced buttons and press studs.
Fixing up paintwork in the flat. Again.
