And I lost.... 1/4 of the way through casting off at the waistband.PipneyJane said:@MrsCD, that door is lovely. I wish I could do something so beautiful. (Can't draw for peanuts.)
In knitting news, I'm 3 rounds away from finishing my Trott jumper. Hopefully I can can get it done without having to break open a fresh ball of yarn, but it'll be close. I don't want to cannibalise my swatch, because it's also the swatch for another jumper in this yarn (in a different colour).
I'm undecided whether to crack on with the second jumper, because I'm not a huge fan of the yarn but it'd be nice to use it all up and get rid. Whatever I knit next won't involve having to look at every third stitch, in every round.

Got given some wool warehouse vouchers for my 40th so as soon as I finish my husband's never ending jumper I'm making myself this in a turmeric yellow 🥰

Ooh I would go for the turmeric yellow myself. A lovely bright colour for winter. The shape of that cardigan is beautiful.2

Seriously, what's the pattern for that? I think it's stunning, and it's the kind of style I'd like too.
