On the knitting front

The jumper I started many years ago was evidently begun as a stash buster as I discovered it in a bag containing various different types of yarn, which I had started to work in an entrelacs pattern. However, despite a good search around my loft (where lots of my UFOs reside) I was unable to find the pattern I'd started with. Reluctant to pull it all to bits - there were two perfectly good sleeves already finished - I tried to find another pattern with a similar layout, so that I could make up a back and front to go with the sleeves. I undid the entrelacs work and started knitting up the back. By the time I'd finished this I'd come to the conclusion that one of the colours wasn't going to last the course, so the work went on hold once again. I carried around with me a sample of the yarn I needed (it was the red) and tried in various places to find a match; eventually I did, and work started again. In the last week I've made up the front - and the turquoise almost ran out too (in the photo the tiny ball at the top is all that was left) and knitted up the neck. I can't finish it off yet, though, as the sleeves are back in London whilst I am in France... next week, though, I hope to get them all together.
