Progress report

With all this casting on and many coloured progress bars on the left sidebar there, that don't seem to really be going anywhere at the moment.. well I thought I needed to do a progress report on the knitting situation!!

Montego Bay has been spoken for earlier, and after my nice warm wheat-bag has heated the bed sheets sufficiently ( it's a somewhat blustery, stormy night out there - perfect for snuggly down with a lovely and a wheat-bag!) I shall hop right into bed and keep on knitting away with it to get a bit more substance to the article so I can decided whether I'm happy with the width and gauge.

Ma Hoodii is coming along great guns =D I'm really enjoying it actually! The k2p2 waistband rib is a lovely relaxing knit, not as boring as rows upon rows of stockinette, but simpler than the Montego etc.. very nice indeed :)

I'm working the waistband for longer than the 4" outlined in the pattern - I like a jumper to come down snugly over my hips rather than leave a gappy midriff when I raise my arms.

This photo is a bit flashy so doesn't display the shade of green accurately, but gives a better view of the flecks of crunchy tweed in amongst the yarn.

And I have half of a finished object to report also! I say half because of the Bernat Organic Cotton Bubby Booties.. I've only seamed up one!

I really must work on my finishing skills, I just winged this one - but am really keen to get a good book on finishing techniques so I can seam up and such with style! Any book suggestions?

I was eager to finish the pair of booties, but when I looked at the clock after finishing this one I decided that it would have to bide 'til tomorrow, for now my warm bed and lovelies await!!
