It's a kit I bought from Wonderwool. It's knitting up really soft and with just the right amount of sparkle (which you can't really see in the picture).
Naomi is a colleague who loves bees. She announced her intention to leave at the end of this school year, so I got started asap. Well, she hasn't yet found another job, so I guess I have a bit longer to finish, but since it has a 500+ stitch picot beaded bind off and exam marking starts in 10 days, I'm still knitting as fast as I can.
I had to take a brief hiatus last weekend when I had a catastrophic ball collapse. It took Mr Z the best part of two days to untangle the skein. Now I'm up to row 110ish, which is around 350 stitches of moss stitch per row, 16 times. Sigh. It is slow going. The pattern calls this moss stitch but then instructs me to purl every stitch on the wrong side. That's not moss stitch, in my book, so I am knitting the purls and purling the knits, which means it is going even slower than it needs to. After that, though, it's only three more sections until the bind off. I'm feeling determined.
