Now that I've completed several deadline projects, I can get back to work on Wyvern. I've finished both fronts and joined them to start on the back. I finished the right front first and blocked it to make sure my gauge was on, before I started the left front; as you can see, the blocked right front piece is noticeably bigger than the unblocked left front piece.
It's slow going on the sleeves/back combination: those are long rows to hoe knit! Plus, I have to decide just how I'm going to work stripes of coordinating color into the mix; I'm quite sure that I don't have enough yarn to finish with the Trilly alone. It will help keep me going, knowing from experience that the lower back, after the sleeve stitches are bound off, seems to fly off the needles.
(Purchasers of this pattern please note that there are some pattern errata on the pattern page, at the bottom: aside from the glaring stitch count errors after the side waist shaping increases, they are more like clarifications-- at least I like to think of them that way :-( )
Looking good, Angela! I'm very interested in seeing how it'll all turn out! By the way, that Italian pod website you mentioned is great! Love that Marco's accent in English ;)
