Progress on Charlotte

Finally I am back to were I was before. The only diffrence is that now I have finished the collar. I tried it on and I still think it is big. My tesion is right, maybe I should have done a smaller size. But I will leave it as it is.
The colours like nice now that I knitted with allternating balls of yarn.
Now I have to carry on with the sleeves. I am thinking if I should knit both sleeves at the same time or if that would be to much hassle with all the diffrent balls of yarn.
I like knitting with the Tagliatelle yarn, I think it is the most wonderful pure wool tape. But Fandango is not for me, I have tried other chenille yarns and I have not liked them. I will carry on with this and I will finish Charlotte, hopefully some time next week.
Then I will move on to new projects. I will do something with the Rowan Cotton Tape yarn that I have. When my local yarn shop closed down I had splashed out on Elle Denim yarn. This yarn is a bit thinner than Rowan Denim but it also shrinks. I have started to knit a swatch and I will wash it and then check the tesion. If the tension works out to go with Rowan Denim patterns I will have to decide on what pattern and for whom. I am thinking jacket for Noor, but I have just done her a jacket, maybe there is enough yarn for something for me. I knitted Mary for myself a few years ago and it still is one of my favourite cardigans. I actually have to put it in the back of the wardrobe from time to time otherwise I would just be wearing Mary all the time.
I have 20 balls of the Elle denim. Any ideas?

Hi Karin
I love the colours you'ved used for Charlotte. Where is the pattern from?
I'm also glad to hear that your cat's eating again. 12 1/2 is a really good age. You must be good at looking after him!
