Movin' On

I just finished Clue #1 for the Secret of the Stole III. The pattern is lovely and relatively easy to follow (I am knocking on wood even as I write!). I decided to go ahead and work from both ends. I am NOT optimistic enough to try and knit them simultaneously; however, I am beginning the second half as I finish the clues at the other end. WE'll see how long I can keep up the pace.
