I'm going backwards in time here -- the first picture is about where it's at now.
I heard about issues with the fit of the yoke area on Birkin from various sources, so I'm knitting an XL yoke and a L body and sleeves. Someone else on Ravelry did that and it worked for them, so fingers crossed. This yoke has lots of 3 color color work, which is not my favorite. The majority of patterns only have 2 colors per row, not three (although there are styles of color work that go for 3 colors per row at times). I'm looking forward to blocking this one out so the color work looks better.
Not much else to report around here. We are an empty nest again -- I can't remember if I mentioned that here. The boy child moved up to Buffalo last fall to stretch his wings and be on his own. He's doing well, as is the girl child, who is still in NYC living the life.
Mia is, of course, Mia.
She decided it was too warm for her winter bed and proceeded to get into my knitting basket instead one day. Luckily she only got a few stitches off the needles and unrolled a bit of yarn, nothing else. I dug out a different basket and it's been her favorite sleeping spot since. Silly girl!
Can't wait for spring! Hope all of you experiencing the Beast from the East are surviving well.
ETA: Finished the body! On to the sleeves!
