        I’ve started a Guernsey for Lesley, a friend. It’s a 5 ply wool in “heather” colour.

        I have a pattern for a plain Guernsey knitted with two needles, but am knitting it in the “Seahouses” pattern using an “Addi” circular needle.

                That’s quite a project. You are a master knitter!

                    Thank you, Debby! I don’t know if I deserve that name, but I enjoy using the fine wool on small gauge needles, size two and a quarter mm (13). I’m knitting the welt in garter stitch before starting the pattern. 😊

                        I don’t like the way the pattern is turning out and am changing to this Norfolk, Sheringham pattern from a chart. I am not knitting in the round, but am going to knit in the flat on a circular needle.

                            Good luck with that! I don’t know if my wrists could handle a whole geurnsey like that.
                            I am currently knitting on 1.5 mm needles and I have to take breaks and do something else for a few days at the time.

                                That’s a nice pattern too.

                                    Thanks, Debby. It’s easy to keep track of now I’ve got it set. Just doing a line where I cross the cables.

                                        Thanks, Lena. It is upsetting the arthritis in my wrist, but once I get going I keep at it. Good luck with your project.

                                                        Very impressive! I would love to do a proper guernsey, but I think I would run out of steam halfway through. I am working on a guernsey-inspired sweater right now, but it is nowhere near as fine as a real one.
