The 4 ply jumper continues to grow.

4 ply jumper
I am doing the jumper in plain stocking stitch but following the pattern for Elton from a Jaeger book - Men's collection published earlier in the year to get the measurements. The size I am doing is for a 42 inch chest which comes out actual size 49 inch chest. I bought 11 balls of yarn and have just started my 3rd ball.
Polly has certainly given me a nudge on this project. She is currently pacing at 1 - 1.5 inch an hour and gaining on me. I had better go off and do my 3 inches for the day!
I do have a bag to carry this project around in and it happens to be one I knitted.

Some of you may recognise this. It is a design by Kim Hargreaves and was a week-end project from Rowan which was given as a free gift with the Rowan annual subscription a few years ago. This is the first free gift I have knitted up. It is knitted in handknit dk cotton.

Yipes.. I better get my you-know-what it gear!
