Hi Lieuvena, so sorry about your eye infection. I hope it clears up soon for you.
I haven't abandoned this kal either, but I haven't started yet (other than getting the pattern and the yarn - I'm really good at doing that part!) The reason I haven't started is that I have another project I really want to get finished with first. I'm hoping to have it done by Easter, but realistically, I'm not so sure that can happen. All I can do is

and hope for the best...
