I’ve finished the left front of the kimono coat and started across the back.

Left front, beginning of back
So far I’m happy with the way things are shaping up. The armscye turned out to be much simpler than I’d thought it would be. It is, however, connected at the top as I didn’t cut the yarn and rejoin. I finished the last row of the front, chained the number of stitches I needed, joined at the appropriate spot and went on. I don’t think that should be a problem.

Mated - at long last!
I finally began the mate for the peppermint sock - not that I’ve gotten very far yet, as you can see. Basically I’ve just gotten the toe established and begun the ribbing pattern. It will be my fill-in (when I’ve got a few minutes free) and my take-along project. I’m glad to have it finally under way because I’ve got some very nice sock yarns waiting in the wings that I would like to use. The idea of having nice warm, wool socks this winter makes me very happy :)

Looks a little thoughtful this morning, doesn’t she? Probably wondering how she can get the sparrows on the feeder to come inside and play :)
No trackbacks yet.
You’re just zipping right along! I think your Kimono jacket will be lovely when finished. :) Great color.
(No - the mushrooms have nothing to do with anything, I’ve just been wanting to use them for months now! hehehehe)
Bron - Hehe - they’re pretty cute, aren’t they? And speaking of mushrooms, mushroom soup sounds pretty good for this afternoon!
The jacket is looking good. What a great color too.I forgot all about those socks you were working on
. Glad to hear you are getting visitors at the feeder.
Maureen - Thanks, I like the color a lot too, but am thinking seriously about adding another color as well :) The socks will be uber-cool if I ever get them done - LOL! That darned second sock syndrome.
