I literally can't remember how old this project is. I know the wool came from Rowan as part of being a Rowan Member and I was only one of those for two years and it was a long long time ago. The pattern came from a small booklet included with Knit Now magazine, and it has been kicking around as an unfinished project for many years.
I don't know why we knitters ( or possibly crafters in general) do this sort of thing to ourselves because, when I looked this out to finish it off, all it needed was for the hat to be seamed up and the cord to be made and inserted, and for the jumper to get six buttons and two press studs. For that it had been taking up space for years? Part of not finishing it was not liking the hat very much and part of it was not having anyone to give it to, but this being the year of Finishing Things, and given that this didn't need much doing to it, it was a high priority. I even have someone I can send it to so it's a win/win.
Stats are looking very good this month, thanks largely to finishing the Debbie Abrahams blanket and selling quite a large amount of sock yarn leftovers.
Wool in was Nil ( hooray!) and wool out was 2297g and the cumulative total for the year to date is therefore 2413g. Not every month will be this good I know, but it's still a pleasing start.
