Turtleneck almost done.

20 Nov: short rows completed, working on the yoke (first 6 rows finished) - 1 skein almost used up.

4 Jan 2017: midway through the short rows at the front :) The short rows go on and on, but it makes for an interesting knit to see how the shaping is coming up.

15 Jan 2017: The steam iron blocking did a good job on the wings, but the whole body needs a bit more, especially the lower ribbing. I really need to give it a good soaking and block flat, but must wait until it is a bit less wet, or it won’t dry quickly.
I love it! I plan to knit another one with more wool in it, maybe even alpaca for extra softness.
