For all out there following the tweed baby jacket/Phildar Legende knit-along, I've made some progress on mine. I finished the first sleeve and then thought that the second one looked so funky in the schematic that I just had to knit it right up as well. As I mentioned before, the front is both wierdly assymetrical and has raglan armhole shaping. That means that at some point the sleeve takes over button band duty. So that's that strange little piece hanging off the second sleeve. I think Becky went ahead and took on the challenge of doing the front. I'll have to see how she managed before I give it a try! Kerrie has posted on her progress with her Legende baby jumper and Clemence is now working on a sleeve for her own Legende pullover.

My sew-along is also progressing. Rebecca has started her needle case, but seems to be having trouble posting pics on her blog. (Frowny face.) She was generous enough to write up some beginner-friendly directions for me (thankful, smiley face) and following those, I managed to sew a hem on the inside pocket piece and then one seam joining the various pieces. I think it looks pretty good so far (and here is a close up of my crazy fabric!). But I've stopped at this point because I can tell now that the pocket will be too deep for my short double-points (yes, I generally prefer the little, short, plastic ones, but I do have normal dpns too). So, I am anxiously awaiting further instructions. Sewing class is on Thursday. We're only up to cutting out pattern pieces, but maybe I can ask for advice after class.
