Saw some rowan brushed fleece in sale so bought enough for the Georgia jumper.

Devastated to discover on re-reading pattern it's knitted double stranded (SO ££££) but all ok. Knitted up the back very quickly as rev st st. Onto the front and my goodness is it complicated.

I've got a lovely deep teal wool, which is not a great colour for seeing complicated stitches on. Luckily I checked for amendments before starting so have noted the changes.

I have had to make a little paper list for tallying where I am on the pattern repeats as the center repeat is over 14 rows and the pattern repeats either side are over 7 rows. The center is easy - just a very slow big cable. But the ones on the sides are mad - a normal cable plus a pretty little repeating nested V shape. So this is a very slow knit as every row is different and having to read the pattern for every single row.

I'll try and get some pictures in the daylight of my jumper but if you search rowan quail studio Georgia it should pop up!
