The 2019 Boxing Day Test (Aus V New Zealand) finished yesterday, at the end of day four. It was quite good cricket this year, even if we did beat the Kiwis fairly convincingly. The previous two years have had a lot of interruptions for rain and some very dull cricket.
For those of you who are not familiar with test cricket, play starts at 10.30am and goes until 6pm, with breaks for drinks, lunch and tea. It can go for up to 5 days. What that equates to is a lot of knitting time. If you want to see my daily updates have a look at my Instagram. Here's the body at the end of day four:
56 cm, which is the length in the pattern. I'm taking it to 66cm, so it will be long enough to wear to work. progress should continue fast on this: although the cricket is over, I've got a whole week off work. The weather is stinking today, hot and cloudy and windy, so we're going to keep watching Marvel movies, (only 7 to go!) and I'm going to take a break from the body and start the sleeves.
I have other a few other plans for the week, both crafty, sporty and other, including some dyeing, but that will have to wait until the weather cools down.
