Why Jasper Fforde is a pink elephant

Is there anything more annoying than getting rather far along on a project and realising that you've missed something from the very beginning? It's like traveling five hours to the closest airport only to realise that you've forgotten your passport and tickets at home. Well, this is how the Chanel jacket looks this morning -- all done while getting lost in The Well of Lost Plots by Jasper Fforde. And proof that Fforde is as distracting as as a passing pink elephant.

It looks okay from here, but after careful measurement, I see that I'm about an inch or so short on the sides... Luckily I've got an idea that'll fix that -- like figuring out how to to fax my travel papers to myself at the airport. ;) So, since that's sort of sorted, here's a close-up of the basket weave (look, Brooke!) to give you a better idea of its texture.

(I also did a bit more work on the front of the Bonny raglan, but not enough to be picture-worthy.)

Happy Monday, everyone!
