As there are no sleeves, this is going to be finished in no time at all. Yes, there are the trims to add to the "neck" line and the armholes, but knitting those up will be a doddle. They then have to be knitted to the garment, which should be interesting, for me, at any rate. I'm well used to sewing finished collars and trims on, but knitting them on is a new one for me.
I'm really pleased with the progress as the BF and I spent the weekend getting the house ready to sell. The floorboards upstairs had been a problem - various DIY/cowboy builders in the past had patched up various parts of the floor, leaving some of the boards needing to be replaced. So, the BF was hard at work with that when he hammered a nail through a water pipe...
Fortunately, it was the pipe from the boiler and as the heating wasn't on, there wasn't much water to come out. In addition, as it's that horrible push-fit stuff (that's also under our kitchen sink and pushes itself OUT when the tap runs too fast!) we were able to fix it after a very quick trip to B&Q.
So, the floorboards are fixed. I emptied two carloads of stuff to charity shops. (Not so long ago my entire belongings would have taken just two carloads). All that's left is a bit of painting, some new carpets and the pointing on the house. Then we can put the house on the market and get a new place... somewhere with lots of stash storage. :-)
