I’ve finished reknitting the back of the Sunrise Circle jacket, and the raglan+front of the left front – but not the bit that folds over and becomes the underside of the front hem. Last night I cast on for the right front. On Saturday I bought some Paton’s Jet in a mid grey to use for the underside of hems if I need to. There was nothing even remotely like the blue yarn in the giant Bayswater Spotlight, but I reckon donyale’s suggestion of a contrasting colour will work fine.

But it sure knits up fast! Both pieces took only two evenings each to knit up, though I suppose that means the fronts will take three to four evenings each once I knit the arms. I’d be knitting them up faster, but my back has been playing up this last week so I’m pacing myself.

I’ve also skeined up some yarn for dyeing.

Anyone have any advice of dyeing camel yarn? I’m guessing it’s in the same fibre category as wool, so I can use Landscape dye. But I am a bit worried dyeing will take some of the softness away.
