I appear to be knitting a sweater.

I hadn't decided anything. I was just idly swatching. then I looked down and realised that I had cast on for the back of a sweater. Ah well, these things that decide themselves are usually the best decisions. The yarn is Stylecraft Linen Look , colour Palm, 65% acrylic 7.5% linen 17.5% viscose, and it is making a nice supple fabric. I bought it on my last trip to Knitwits in Penzance - a small shop that gives you a big welcome. They are so friendly and interested in there.

The shape is an EZ percentage - the hybrid with the shoulder yoke, but I am not doing it in the round untilI get to the armholes. The wondrous advantage of learning to knit "English" is that purl has no fears for me. In fact I believe it helps to keep my fingers happy to have that slight change of movement every so often.

So no picture of the pattern - just my note book in which, THANK GOODNESS, I wrote it all down last time I did this one!
