Actual Knitting Content!

This is supposed to be a knitting blog. Here's some knitting!

I'm making the Sun-Ray Ribbing from A Stitch in Time 1 by Susan Crawford (rav link), which I love. I saw it made up at a show, and bought the book on the strength of that one pattern.

I'm making it from some denim blue 4ply, which I've swatched and swatched. I have changed the pattern a bit, mostly I've added a few pattern repeats so I could make the smaller size (the sizing is done with needle sizes, and I didn't like the tension on the larger needles), and some short rows in the front.
The pattern has an opening at the back, and that's where I am now. Looking forward to having this finished in time to wear for Christmas.

It's really hard to see the scale from that first picture - I couldn't tell if it was a sleeve or a sock or a jumper body! (My eyesight isn't that great...) :)
