gyrid

so, i fell in love with this top at first sight. ordered the yarn and the pattern book and then let it sit while i made another top, some washcloths, a pillow case, and the fmb. when i finally got started on it, on a road trip, the metal sleeve at the end of of the needles had come unglued and kept slipping down over the cable and when i would have to push each stitch onto the needle individually. ugh. so i gave up until i got back home where i fixed the needles (susanne needles! they should not do this on the first usage!)
right now i am halfway through the back panel. i am nervous to start the front, as that is the beautiful part, but it will be doing it soon!

and here is the real deal at fuzzy mabel
