Anyway, while he was out, I knitted some more of his jumper. As I didn't start knitting his jumper in the round, I've knitted the back up to the yoke-level, where the sleeves and the body are knitted together.
I know this picture is dark, but it better shows that colour of the yarn ("Rowan All Seasons Cotton - Mocha Choca") which is a lovely dark chocolate brown. In certain light, it actually looks deep charcoal grey, so he will have a chameleon jumper. The yarn is beautiful - it feels like velvet so it will be incredibly soft to wear against the skin and it's knitting up quite quickly, though I feel like I should be making faster progress.
On Thursday, I had another chance for some more knitting as I had a meeting in London - over four hours travelling (altogether). So, I took my lovely Boye set with me (thank you, Hector'shouse) and knit the sleeve in the round.
That's about six inches out of 21.
Kai's (Yarn Mystries) unsettled feeling that she was talking about a few posts ago must have been infectious. I have signed up for two evening courses - Tai Chi and Soft Furnishings Level One. Wonder if I'll be able to do any knitting. They start on the week beginning the 17th and I'm really excited about them.

lol Your BF will be wondering why you are encouraging him to have such a fantastic social life soon! His jummper is gorgeous though - what a fantastically rich shade. I love it! What pattern are you using?? And I can't get my head round the fact you've been knitting for only 18 months (am still in awe of your glove making skills!)
The sweater looks great , and the colour is going to look so nice.
That's a beautiful colour, it's going to be a really lovely jumper. Will really look forward to more pics of its progress and hopefully a shot of it on the live model at the end!
Well, actually I should have said retook up knitting after a sixteen year break. Last time I did any knitting was when I was 14 - stocking stitch only.
