Have just added in the left front leg. This knit has got to be one of the most challenging knits I’ve attempted so far … and I began knitting when I was nine.
Juffrouw Krauweel taught me and about twenty other 9 year olds when we were in Grade Three.
Juf stood in front of the class with her big knitting needles calling out the steps for each stitch … insteken, omslaan, doorhalen, af … (I can’t remember the last word in Dutch, maybe later)
I was an independent hussy where knitting was concerned and knitted without patterns most of my life.
This time however I’m following the directions stitch by stitch.
You got to pick up every stitch, must be the season of the witch!

I would’ve like to put a star on this but I may have already passed my quota, and had no luck. :))

‘Af laten gaan’, that I think is the last bit of the knitting mantra. 🙂
