Cherry Twist! (Pt. II)

I just started the body of the Very Cherry Twist from two knitty's ago. It's very fun. I ended up double stranding the cotton and going to size 13s to get gauge, but I definitely have it.

I'm knitting it as an XL, which is for bust measurements 42"-44". With a bra and a deep breath, I'm a 42." Here's hoping this works.

In other updates:
I really really really want to start Molly's slutcom. Alas that I still haven't made it to Michael's with her to go over yarn and buttons. I even photocopies what I want to the yoke from the library today.

I'm out of the homespun I need to finish Ma's stash hat. It was Molly's. I assumed she had more. I was wrong. I guess I will buy myself a skein and then give it to Molly so she can knit blankies for her kittens.

I can't start Mom's forsythia because the pattern book has vanished off the face of this earth. Do you have it?

All of these are reasons why I'm making the cherry twist.
