The Garment - Stretching Upwards

I am up to the underarms where I split off for the back which is now knit up to the base of the neck. This photograph shows The Garment about halfway up the back. It has become rather unwieldy to knit, the creature! There is now so much of it, I have to lay it alongside me if I am sitting with my feet up or have it almost sitting next to me if I am sitting upright when knitting. It has also just about outgrown its cloth water bucket home. I have been taking advantage of the change in weather and although it is still chilly and windy, I can now sit by the water and knit in the glorious sunny daylight, listening to the waves and doing some long distance eye exercises.

It really is very exciting to watch The Garment's progress. I begin to feel as if I know it personally. Perhaps it can be sent on a world-wide tour when it's done.

Thanks for your remarks. The Garment is taking on its own personality as it grows! Being related to Stephen, it would, no doubt, like the idea of traveling!
