Thomas, well James the Engine, actually

Stage 2 of the Thomas the Tank Engine cardigan. Here's James and I've made a heap big mistake.



No, it's not the absence of his face. I'll add that once I've blocked it.

See the big patch of white next to James. I thought that was supposed to be steam. Oh, no. It's supposed to be grassy hills. I'm assuming that the designers thought that the pattern would be clearer if they shaded the green bits in white and just wrote a big "G" on the section.

That was supposed to be a good idea?

Oh, well, I'm doing the "workman blaming his tools" tantrum aren't I?

I think it looks like clouds.

Good luck with the zip. I sewed a zip in once and it was a scary experience.
