This post should have gone up last night, but I crashed out early!
Here is the current progress on the stripey sweater.

Emily is very pleased with it! I’m knitting the sleeves both at once to avoid second sleeve syndrome.
Our mystery guest arrived. It’s DH’s birthday on Monday, so his mother came in for a surprise visit for him. She has come 1300km for just one night!
Adorable, just adorable. Oh, the sweater is looking good too.
OOooh Ebay. Yes. I’ve put up a post it on my screen that says “eBay – Keep Away”. It doesn’t stand up to such logical rationalisation as yours though! What a great photo of Emily – those stripes really sing!
