And now for something completely different.  I finally finished my Sanmyaku top from The Knitter magazine.

I am pleased with it, but would not have started it had I known how much it would cost.  The pattern calls for 3 skeins of Fiberspates 4ply at £15 a skein.  Expensive enough at £45 but I thought, why not, a treat.  Unfortunately, despite being very careful to get my tension right, I ran out of yarn halfway up the front neck, so the final project cost £60.  I wish I'd gone for a more economic yarn, but the Fiberspates is scrumptious and has a lovely sheen thanks to the silk content - it doesn't show up well on the screen.  It's lovely and light and comfy to wear too.  Maybe I should have finished it sooner while it was still warm enough to wear it.  Oh well, roll on next summer.  Maybe I'll have tightened up those bingo wings by then too, lol.
