The pattern and yarn was sent to me via Royal Post and took a month to arrive (darned Post Office!). I'll need to really put some concentrated work into this to get it finished in good time - I have about 4 weeks to complete it and get it into the mail for its trip back across the ocean. My boss is being very supportive of this project and given me today off to get started. I'll need to take a couple more days next week. I'm very much looking forward to this! I started the back last night and expect to finish it today and get started on the front.
My first project is so incredibly beautiful and a perfect example of vintage style! It certainly makes me look forward to the whole book. I think the editor is making fabulous choices of patterns.
Of course I'm not allowed to show pictures or to give details of the contents, but when the book comes out I'll be credited in the book for the items I made. When that happens, I'll point out which ones were from my needles. The cool thing is that I actually have the vintage needles that were originally used for these patterns! However, I think I'll used Addi needles, to make it all go quick quick quick! (This is so exciting!)
Off to make a cup of tea and get started on my day of professional knitting...
