Finally! Took me some time to decide which yarn I want to use and when to knit it, but here we go!

B = 48
1/3 B = 16

Oh-oh…. Knitting with dark grey yarn in November was maybe not the smartest idea… but I really wanted something neutral and using the yarn from my stash, so I will have to go with this.

It was either this dark grey or blue, but as grey is more neutral, I will go with this.

I will probably have to use my daylight in the evening. Other than that, the pattern is fine and fun to knit so far.

I am at 39 cm for the back, so about 9 cm to go before separating the sleeves.
I have to admit rows get quite loooooong…

Okay, took this out of winter break, measured length - I am at 44 cm back length. Will have to double-check pattern as it was in hibernation for so long…
Hope to finish it soonish, before it gets really warm…

After taking it out of hibernation, I decided I do not want to finish it as I doubt it will fit me properly and so I will probably not wear it. Plus, knitting garter stitch in looooong rows with dark yarn is not what I want to do with my life….

Maybe I will give the pattern a try later and then for sure not in garter stitch.
