Knitting holiday

As much as I love to be out in the garden, my body does not agree. So today I'm taking advantage of the holiday to do nothing but sit and knit, so I'm functional enough to head back to the office tomorrow.

I've dedicated most of may knitting time to Sauble Sunset and I'm making some great progress.

Which I'd be able to show you if someone didn't have to be a photo-bomber...

That's better. I love how the colour of this yarn changes with the light. Inside, it's a deep dark wine purple, outside in the sunlight, it's this rich berry shade.

If I was following the pattern to the letter, I'd be at the point where I should be decreasing for the neck.But I'm not.

1) I'm busty, and as written, the pattern just won't cut it.
2) I'm making this as a "cover-up" for some of my sundresses that I can't currently wear to work, so I need more coverage.

That means making the bodice deeper and the neckline a bit higher. Which in turn means I'll be decreasing for the neckline about the same time I divide for the arm holes. Just a few more inches, and once I get to that  point, I think this thing is going to fly!
