It's coming along slowly, but coming along. I have been slowed by horrible allergies going amok from no rain for months down here in swcentral Tx. I also had a kittypi bed to finish.I could have sworn I got gauge before I started, but I have to get a grip on reality and admit I knit tight. So I have now gone up to a 6 needle. This Tahki Willow is really nice to work with if you keep an eye on periodic splitting. I refuse to rip back so will have some fine needlework to do on some stray strands when I am done.
Shhhhh.....our secret.....I haven't tried it on yet. Before I start decreasing, I will. But haven't gotten the guts to yet.
I photographed her on some beautiful burgundy silk that DH's boss brought me from China for my birthday. There is only about a yard...or meter...of it and there seems to be a faded spot. I have no idea what I am going to do with it but will have to take care with the faded area when I do.
The only time I seem to be able to knit these days is in the morning when I sit at my sunroom table, and when I am at the computer. When I try to cozy up in my big chair in front of the tv, my pampered pest thinks it is when I should be paying attention to him and parks his wet doggy nose over my needles. I can't see to take a stitch and he is very opposed to moving. Then there is the pitiful neglected puppy look. So knitting time is cramped.

The yarn looks lovely! The fabric too! I've been slow going as well. Just finished a sweater myself so now I can focus on Picovoli. Good luck--my dog doesn't stick her nose on my needles but she does sit on my feet. My cat however, sits on my yarn or my instructions:)
