I'm braving the possibility of aggravating the scabs on my hands by finishing some projects because I have a very exciting new book on the way!*

First in the queue was some handspun that I owe a friend. That's spun up but needs dyeing so I won't post a photo yet. I don't want to risk permanently tattooing my wounds onto my hands so I'm trying to find my box of rubber gloves before I attempt the dyeing. Plus I have to search through the garage-full-of-stuff-that's-still-packed-from-the-move so I can find my dyes and jugs. Luckily I know where my dye pans are.

Next in the finish line was the "why does the neck look so small?" dulaan jumper.

I frogged most of the ribbing around the neckline and cast off, but even with just a couple of rows it still looked too small, what with the decreases made at the base of the "V". Sudden inspiration hit and I picked up the stitches all the way round, decreased away the stitch at the base of the V and knit back and forth in garter stitch for 22 rows. Tada! A neckline that a 4 year old head can fit through. Plus I think it looks kinda nice (or I'd have ripped the whole thing out and given up :P)

Next: Miss Binky's Skull Jumper

*More about that later!
