angeltina

turns out both tina and yours truly are being a tad slow with angelina - members of the patterns of the past group doing the knit along are talking about the neck...heck! we're still on the sleeves:

angelina

tina still has a fair chunk to go - she hasn't started the sleeves yet, but that's ok...her angelina (or angeltina, as we like to call it...) is being knitted in a bendigo woollen mills wool/cotton/lycra mix "harmony" (a pink shade - perhaps the carnation or a newer shade that bendy has - old shade card..), which is more a spring knit. the mohair number in burgundy is more a wintry thing, so we're keen on getting it done.

something we didn't know before...our lace knitting skill before embarking on this project equals a grand total of one partly done pi shawl. tina admitted to a doily...so it's a good thing we're on a list with the creator of the pattern, plus of bunch of faster knitters who are hopefully just as hapless as us when it comes to lace.
