I've picked up an abandoned project, Handmaiden's Jane sweater.
It's a neat idea -- worked in one piece, with an origami sorta construction. You work the back sideways, and construct the sleeves from the top half of the back stitches, and the two fronts from the lower half. You fold the two fronts up and across the front, for a wrap-around effect.
The colour really isn't reading in the picture, but it's a nice bright but not too garish lime green.
Working on it the other night, I remembered why I'd put it down. I modified the sleeves to be worked in the round (of course), and my only appropriately sized (5mm) dpns are metal. And the tinkling is driving me insane. (Not to mention poor Norman who was trying to pay attention to the television.) I might have to get new needles to finish it.
It will be just the thing for those not-quite-freezing-cold but-still-not-very-warm days of spring.
