OK - I'm nuts!

Working through my stash and I am up to a jumper that I have been planning for months. BUT of course it the heaviest wool I have worked with yet and worked on 6.5mm needles. This means it is coming together very quickly (great after the last 4 ply effort).

BUT (and it is a big one) it is in the middle of our summer so it is about 35 degrees (95 in farenheit) at the moment

I tried short rows and three needle cast off for the shoulders which worked a treat!

well - off to the beach for an afternoon swim and then the pub for a cold beer!

have a good weekend men!

Paul
