Bamboo sweater coming along

Finally finished and blocked the back of the bamboo yarn sweater tank top. Had no issues making the lace pattern on the bottom of the first piece, which must have been beginners luck because I tore out the bottom of the front no less than 5 TIMES!! Arghh! And then something finally clicked in my brain and I cranked out the pattern out in an hour or so. Now just knitting up in pattern until I reach the top. I may have to put this aside to make a special birthday present for Aidan.





Also, the single zebra finch chick just fledged out of the nest yesterday. You can tell it's a juvenile because it's beak is still dark brown, when it matures the beak will turn bright orange.
