Sahara Progress

Haven't done much knitting at all for the past few weeks, since we had food poisoning (that was NOT nice!).

Anyway, managed to pick up Saraha and have made a bit of progress. I've just joined the fronts to the back, and here is a picture of it just before that:


I found the instructions a bit confusing for increasing on the front armholes, but found the answer after a bit of googling: when the pattern says "cast on 4 sts at start of each of next 2 rows", it means working across both left and right fronts as one row (even though they are still being worked separately).

So you're casting on at the left armhole, knitting all the way across the left and right sides, turning then casting on in purl at the right armhole. Weird. Anyway, got it done now.
