I've only ever made Ian a waistcoat and have toyed with the idea of making him a shirt for sometime - and then I found Peter over at MPB - I'm in!

It doesn't look very exciting does it?! But the line drawings show a yoke and different sleeve/cuff finishes so I'm hoping it will suffice.

Grey pinstripe skirt is finished (am wearing it today) and waspie is 95% done - photo's to follow at the weekend - with knitted top.
Today I have mainly been sewing watching "Downton Abbey" on DVD

Not sure if you're interested, but Leah Taylor contacted me to let me know she has the Negroni for UK customers.
