How does a project get to be a year behind schedule? One day at a time.
--Fred Brooks
My name is Patricia, I live in Florida and I signed up with Becky almost at the beginning of this Knitalong. I am very tardy in introducing myself and my project, DaCapo.
My kit, from Denmark, arrived mid autumn 2005 and it sat there looking pretty in its sparse packaging for a few months before I worked up the courage to begin. This is my first grand project. I have since cast on and barring a few mistakes the jacket is looking pretty good. I am knitting the larger size with the shorter sleeves. I hope that it will not be too big. I had read another’s post somewhere in cyberspace that the jacket runs on the large side. The suggestion was made to wash and slightly felt to achieve a better
fit. I shudder at this prospect. As I knit, I hope that I chose correctly and am not making a jacket that will hang in my closet unworn. I’m sure this is every knitter’s nightmare.I am almost finished with the back. It has been slow going, what with the small needle size and the many other projects on ones needles. So far I am enjoying the process and hope to finish in time for the next Florida cold snap.

Hello Patricia from another Patricia (aka Patty). I am doing Decapo too and from the looks of your we are pretty close to the same point. I know what you mean about slow. I made lots of mistakes in the early days and put it away for more than a year. This group motivated me to bring it back out. Will enjoy seeing your progress.
Wow, those colors are gorgeous! can't wait to see your progress.
