also knitting pictures.
so here's the start of my mermaid jacket (with the colors of yarn):
the turquoise (center) is the main color; the green will be stripes and the blue edgings and gussets. it's knit in garter stitch, side to side, starting from an i-cord. and it's going to take a while - it's 2-ply shetland, knit on size 3 needles (which are actually slightly larger than i should be using, they are 3.25 mm needles and the pattern calls for 3.0). here's a hand for scale:
that's 14 rows, plus the i-cord.
ok, better get back to work!
