The thin grey line

And here you have it:  the thin grey line.



The colour play is over until such time as I run out of the grey.  Or almost run out.  Still reserving a little for the sleeves.

The biggest part of the knitting comes now.  The interesting increases that give this garment its distinctive shape, means there will be a lot of stitches on the needles before I am through.  A lot.  It happens fast too because the increases are every other row.  Fast.  It creates an flare to the side.  I haven't read farther in the pattern but I know I have to knit eleven inches following just what I am doing now. 

So if you need me, that is where I will be for most of today.  Knitting inches.
