Shell and Katy

Taking photos of yourself in jumpers is harder than it looks....

So now you know what I look like, and my choice of necklace, and even how Katy complements my skin tone ;)

Then, from one extreme to the other, now you can see how Katy's colouring blends beautifully with our living room...

But now you can see her a bit better, although I had to crop off the 'eyes shut mouth open' face from Jack's photo. That really didn't do Katy any favours.

So on the whole I am happy with her. Sleeves are nice and long, body is just long enough. Neckline a little too low without a vest (seems a bit inappropriate to have acres of cleavage in a fluffy weekend jumper!) and the bottom half is a bit baggy - I did the biggest size to accommodate the bosoms but maybe should have cast on the next size down for the bottom section and done some increases towards the armholes. But that is a general problem with all my tops - I can't blame Katy for an out of proportion body.

Tonight I am going to prepare my skeins for Sarita. Suzy has had the benefit of a long train journey and some creative working practices (which basically seem to involve putting off any impending work in order to race ahead on the first sleeve). I need to catch up! Not that knitting is a competitive business of course, sisters. I will remember to take the camera this time before she winds every pesky skein into a less photogenic ball.

And Carolyn has promised me an update on her Maddox - pictures please!
