I've finished the shaping of the front; now, all I have to do is knit until I'm almost out of yarn, and then stitch up the shoulder seams and weave in the ends.

The weather was pleasant and spring-like most of the day. Shortly before sunset, the living room was simultaneously bathed in golden light, and rattled with hail on the roof. We dashed outside, and, yes, there was a full 180 degree rainbow in the east. Tom dashed inside again quickly, as we were in a significant squall with no protective gear, but I stayed a bit longer. I'm a sucker for atmospheric effects.
