A mouse tail appears!

Before
After

























My field mice are coming along very nicely.   Now that I've added in the detail of the husk, you can clearly see that the pink strips are not (as I originally thought) part of the husk of the wheat, but a cute mouse tail curling around the sheath.

Yay, knitting progress!  Last week it felt like my sweater had barely moved despite my spending several nights doing a line or two - but this week, despite the abundance of Christmas parties at wrok and home, I've been able to dedicate some serious stitching time and almost doubled what I had last week.  I'm only a little way away from finishing the front too now! I'm very excited.  Depending on whether I get the chance to knit on the train, I might even have the piece finished by Christmas (and get to wear it!).
