There are many, many works in progress lying around the house, but it would have taken far too long to list them all!  Instead, here is the most recently started work in progress.

No sooner did the email come through on Saturday from Lion Brand with this free pattern than I printed it out, asked Clare to choose some yarn from the stash, and made a start!  Since I took this photo I have unpulled it out to the first row and made it a little shorter.  It was going to be years before Clare would have fitted into it otherwise!  That’s always a hazard when substituting yarn.  I’m using Patons Jet, from my bargain buy at Spotlight at the end of last winter.  It’s crochets up beautifully!  I’ve done a little more work on it this evening – I’m already up to the sleeves and yoke!  Maybe I’ll have to sneakily take it along to Brown Owls tomorrow night (where I’m meant to be sewing a toadstool pincushion …)
