The neck has now been remodelled and the jumper finished so Mum is glowing with a sense of achievement and has now reverted to working on the poinsettia chunky jumper which is an ongoing background project that it is hoped will be finished this winter.  I believe that there are about twenty more rows to work on the back of the aran jumper that Aunty Biscuit is working on so it should be finished this evening.  As this is an uncharted territory tunic length project with two large balls of yarn, the plan of attack is the back and sleeve approach.  This tactical manoeuvre enables the knitter to ascertain that there is sufficient yarn to complete the project, or put simply as long as it doesn’t take more than half the yarn to knit a back and a sleeve there will be enough to do the whole jumper.
