Whose silly idea was it to knit a car? More to the point, whose silly idea was it to ask someone who rebuilds vintage cars for a living to assist with the design!! I know this is going to look absolutely great when finished, due to the accuracy and precision of the under-structure, but the box in my bedroom full of unattached and unidentifiable templates is a scary place.
So for now, I am just knitting quietly away, covering them, and will leave the assembly to the master when the time comes. I was going to complain about the amount of knitting involved but actually it is quite nice to just make boring straight shapes of plain knitting, no need to think too hard, no need to write any pattern down, just soothing stocking stitch. I did possibly make an ill thought-out choice in using thin cotton yarn for the main body colour as it takes longer to knit, but the finished result is well worth the extra work.

You know you love it really :-) x x x
Can't wait to see the end result! I feel like that about knitting too, it's nice to have complicated shapes and patterns to work to show your skills off but sometimes you just want a break from it. I usually have 2-3 things on the go at a time, one of which is easy peasy.
One day it will be finished. One day. LOL How long have you been at it? It's looking great so far though. xoxo
