Dear Ellen,
Here is the finished Cinnamon Tee in all it’s glory. I am very pleased with this little shirt. If I hadn’t gained about 10 pounds since cast-on it would really look great…instead there’s a bit too much negative ease, but current plans are to make that a non-issue by summer. Even so, I could wear it very happily right now as long as I had a jacket over it — and don’t you think that neckline would look great under a jacket? It’s too cold to wear it alone right now anyway.
I’m also on the verge of finishing my last entry — all done except for sewing on 7 buttons. I’m pretty sure that will be done long before closing ceremonies even start. I’m about to go join Dale and Ruby for the big US-Canada hockey game and I should have those taken care of before the first period ends. Did you know Ruby was a hockey fan?
Love, Jan

Ooh - the tee is really great. I think I need to add it to my queue. And you are right - dynamite neckline.
Ruby, as ever, is adorable.
I am ribbing away on my neck, having reworked that neckline. I want about 3 or 4″, so a bit to do, plus end weaving and blocking. I will finish before the closing ceremonies end, but what won’t get done around the house in the meantime?

Yay for FO’s! And you’re right…that neckline would look great with a jacket.
