Excuse the Typo's

I can't wear my glasses at the moment, as they keep sliding onto where there are sore places.  It isn't too much of a problem with the blog, I've just increased the screen resolution, but in other places it makes it more hit and miss.  

This makes me even more smug - I've started on the ruffle for the jacket.  I'm on around 700 stitches.  I'm not counting exactly how many.  I picked up the correct 302 stitches and then made an executive decision that I wasn't going to count the stitches as I increased.  It would be great if I could get it right, but if I was out by one or two it wouldn't matter, it's a ruffle that doesn't need to be attached ot anything.  So I'm increasing every fifth stitch as the pattern states, starting at different points as I go in.  And I joined the shoulders and picked up without my glasses!!!  I feel so relieved I've started.  I expect it will take me most of tomorrow to do the final 10 rows and I'll wait until I can wear glasses before I put it together properly, but I am quite proud.
