Brigitta body done

The color on this is off a good bit - it appears turquoise, but it's really much darker - more a teal.  See where the top of the back section angles off?  That's where the top of the fronts get seamed pushing the shoulder seam off the top of the shoulder and down to the back.  It's a much sleeker fit and is a really great approach for such a chunky yarn.  Those two little bits that extend on the fronts get seamed along the horizontal section of the back to create a little collar.

I've cast on for the first sleeve and have worked about half way up.  This should be done by Friday when I want to start Gudrid, which you can see here, along with the new colors of Baby Llama.

Ushya Brigitta

This is the amount that I got done while riding in the car up to Bethesda and back.  So fast.   Haven't knit one stitch on it since then, which is a shame  I love the feel of this yarn and the incredible sense of accomplishment that comes from such quick progress. 

The good news is that the St. Andrews bazaar is over (we cleared $4000) and I can get back to my knitting.  Woohoo!
