sadly still in the box and unopposed, although I am off this week I decided to create a wildlife pond as the weather has been half decent, I have 2 weeks work then another week off so will play with it then if not before :-)

I'm tempted by this crochet jumper, I've done lots of crochet shawls but never a garment

That’s nice. I don’t get on well with crochet garments as my vertical gauge is always too small. I usually have to add rows-which is ok depending on the pattern. It’s also much easier to fudge a few stitches than knitting if the count is wrong or you need more shaking.
