Salina from Vintage Knits is finished. I used Yorkshire Tweed 4ply (not DK as specified by the pattern) and managed to get gauge. 4ply is a good weight for me, I like to layer as the temperature from one room of this house to another can vary so much. In spite of my love of colours and dislike of all this grey weather we have been experiencing I do love this shade of grey, it looks great with a splash of bright lipstick or a colourful scarf at the neck. 
This is my first knit from this book and I may well make it again one day, the shaping is so well thought out, very flattering, typical of what makes Kim Hargreaves such a popular designer. There were no major difficulties with the pattern and it was a quick knit, the yarn is a pleasure to knit with, no nasty surprise knots, doesn't break easily, soft to work with, lovely, a very wearable sweater.
I been tagged twice in the last few weeks and haven't managed to complete either, I am working on them, honest. I find memes ridiculously hard, I procrastinate too much.

A nice Tipsy Laird is good too, (that's probably your sherry trifle recipe) http://www.recipezaar.com/109292
or perhaps
Clootie Dumpling http://www.scottishrecipes.co.uk/clootiedumpling.htm although that can be a bit heavy if you've had a hearty meal before.
Or how about good old unbeatable delicious home made shortbread??
Enjoy it when it comes, I'll be singing my wee heart out come this Thursday.

Now I can comment on your lovely Salina. That looks lovely and will go with so much. I really miss Kim Hargreaves as a designer with Rowan, she was top notch. Never bought anything from her own brand of kits yet though.

Re the memes - don't think too much -just write whatever comes into your mind first (within reason!) That's what I do, otherwise it's too much like homework.
