I started knitting this a few weeks back, but it feels a bit weird knitting woolies in such hot weather. I've finished the back and this is as far as I've got with the front. Anyway, it's a present for my mum's birthday which isn't till December.
The pattern is the same one I used for my yellow sweater, plus a few modifications. The designer is a lady called Martha Lazar from Brooklyn, USA and I got the pattern from Debbie Stoller's book "Stitch and Bitch". The yarn is Sirdar Extra Chunky in Denim, and I'm knitting on 9mm straight needles. I love these needles, they're wooden and grannified, a bargain off E-bay for about three quid.
