it certainly is, spinkle :)

finally got the shoulder seams done! lost count of how many attempts it took to get it right. still not perfect but will have to do!

and my lacy fingerless glove pattern has been located - my friend had it - so all is well with the world. well, it would be if she hadn't mentioned something about senility in her text back ;)
