Sooner or later...

we had to get some snow (which promptly melted)

and some freezing rain (at my favourite farm)

(then crazy warm again)

and sooner or later,

I would finish my summer knitting  ~I did say I would be busy~ in between the snow and freezing rain.

Photographing this was like taking pictures of your new black puppy - a black blob.

And it was November, dark and raining (or snowing).

Sooner or later I would give up trying to come up with a good photo. My teenage photographer was getting a little impatient standing out in the rain, hence the blurring ones in the bathroom...

and the equally crappy one with flash.

But I do love the tunic.

For something so simple, I had two false starts, one with size issues and the other, something I have never ever done before - I twisted my cast on row on a circular needle and didn't discover it until several rows in...  sooner or later it had to happen. For 30 years knitting it's a pretty good track record, though.

I used a cheaper substitute yarn than recommended, it was that or not knit at all (sacrifices due to being poverty stricken) but I do like the way it came out in the end and there should be no stretching-out problems.

And the saving grace is that it can be worn with a turtle neck, so I'm calling it a year round knit that I just may have started in summer, ahem.

I now have a more seasonably appropriate one halfway done.

Let's just pray for some light.

Love it! That is so pretty Elizabeth! But hey...did I miss something in the last post? HOW was the apple tart?

Very nice! Taking photos in winter is a real challenge. I have TWO wool tunics going, which I started in spring, and I'll probably finish at some point in the next summer ... tunics strike me as very comfy winter garments.
