As an aside, I really love these new red shorts I got from Boden. The only sad thing is that Boden seems to have been the victim of its venture capitalists because the quality is just really poor compared to what it once was, so I'm already mourning this gorgeous red colour, which I fear can't last more than this summer.
This is the Tolsta tank from my last post - square neck version. The only mod is that I went down a size during the body of the top, by decreasing 4 stitches every 6th row until I got to the stitch count for size 4.
It took about two skeins of the Namolio yarn, so maybe 600m, and I love the glimmer from the secret strand of sparkly linen thread.
Nothing else has been cast on yet but I have wound the yarn for the niece's unicorn jumper, I just need to look away from my phone for long enough to cast on. Well, if I have to be honest, the blocked is that the pattern is not immediately to hand. I know it cannot be far away, probably it has fallen down the back of the sofa, but mental energy has been somewhat lacking as I mark and mark and mark and then spend much of the rest of my time worrying about the aforementioned university assignments. I did make a start on one them 10 days ago but it made me cry so I have not been back to it since. The very opposite of a sensible, rational reaction.
Still, school's out now. Today I have seen the dentist, the optician and the beautician. The house is filthy but relatively tidy. The end of marking is in sight. It's two weeks until my first holiday. Time to get cracking.
