Am I alone here?

I'm done!


No one else has posted anything in awhile...are you still working on it? Don't give up!
Later I'll be posting my thoughts on Josephine here

Woo! I finished the back last night! No pictures, because it looks the same as my last, only longer and BO!
My goal is to have it done by Nov 22nd, since it's intended recipient will be in the States for Thanksgiving and I would really save by not sending it to England. That gives me 2 weeks to do a sleeve and 1/2 (the first is 1/2 way done!), both front pieces, sew it together and knit on the collar. The back (the largest piece) took me just over a week, and that was while I was moving, so I think I won't have any trouble doing both front pieces in the next week, giving me one last week to finish the arms and get it all together.
Wish me luck!

Almost done with the back!

I've done the armhole shaping and am now about 4 inches from the shoulder shaping/BO! Yay!
It does some to be a pretty fast knit. I think I'll do the front pieces at the same time, as that always seems to make it faster (which doesn't make any sense, but well...)...any comments or suggestions?
Edited to add: Since I'm going to the movies tonight and this is just too difficult for that...I'm starting on a sleeve! I wanted to knit them in the round, but I just don't have the right needles (drats!). As it is, the receiver has asked that we NOT do the ribbed sleeves (she's afraid they'll add bulk to her arms), so I'll be doing reverse St st with one single cable (not the zigzag one, but the one I call "twisted pillar"). Whaddya think?

Thank You Lynne!

My friend Lynne finally got me all straightened out with my Josephine. I am about 5 inches into it and I am loving it!

It is going super fast on the US13's!

Progress of Knititng & Frogging
