I started this in early January, then dropped it while school was busy, and now have started on it again. I’m finished the colourwork design on the body, and have just started the first row of main colour after the last one of the contrast colour.

I’m using Katia ‘Diana’, which is acrylic, nylon, viscose and angora. It is so lovely and soft though, not your granny’s scratchy, sweaty acrylic.
That side (my first attempt at two-colour knitting) is all well and pretty, but you look behind and….

AAAHH stringy bit everywhere! It’ll look better when it isn’t all squished up on a smallish needle, though. I’m quite proud. There are a few puckery rows in the design, not bad enough that I’d want to frog it. I think a bit of judicious pulling and tugging will get it looking right. I haven’t sewn up the hem yet, which is why the bottom edge looks weird right now.
The colours are fairly true, the red is about right, but the cream is definitely lighter than the carpet; right now it looks the same.
