Good morning, all, and here we are with another Swing Jacket update!
Anne says, "I am such a bad knit-a-longer. I have a swatch just about done :)" -- I must add here (partly in my own defense, as well as Anne's) that there is no such thing as "good" or "bad" here, just "focused" or "distracted"!
Suse writes, "Hooray, my yarn arrived! I chose 8ply pure wool, from Bendigo Woollen Mills, in Cranberry. The colour is just delicious and I'm looking forward to getting properly started" --
"I've swatched, not something I normally do (shock horror) and have decided to go up one needle size. I'll start with the yoke I think, for a gentle introduction."
I myself have been distracted with current and upcoming birthday parties, and the whirl of gaiety that is a kindergartner's social life. I cast on for the first sleeve last Sunday, and there it sits yet --
But perhaps I will find some mommy-time somewhere this week, and add another row or two!
PS, Fern writes, "I have the yarn but haven't yet begun the project. I may be the last to begin and finish but everyone's progress is inspiring and helpful."

PS. I finished the yoke, and have begun the first sleeve. Feeling rather smug and self-satisfied.

Don't despair Fern - I've still not purchased my yarn so I dare say you won't be last.
