arms.

we saw tina's progress over the weekend at the cafe banter meeting - she's done about half of the ribbing before hitting the sleeves. we've finished the cast on for the sleeves, and now it's mindless ribbing for a few inches:

as you can see, there's a very nifty design feature going on here - the whole thing is knit in one piece with the lace added on afterward. the yarn from whiteliesdesigns - a mohair/wool mix - has been a total joy to knit - it's incredibly soft and buttery, and has none of the shedding and sometimes scratchy feel of mohair - if only australian companies sold stuff like this!

tina need not fear. methinks she mightn't have the amount of ballwinding we do (she has none, lucky soul...) and the amount of other projects on the go (then again...). so we have a little standstill at this point - at least, at the time of writing we do. it's getting mighty cold outside though, so we're tempted to speed angelina along for something a little warmer to wear.
